Hello Sopuli,

We have quite a few communities that have been abandoned / moderator has abandoned fediverse, so we are looking for moderators who would like to adopt some of these communities.

For the communities that we don’t find any people to moderate we will add a sticky post with information on how to adopt these communities and hopefully redirect people to an active community that has a somewhat similar purpose/topic.

List of communities below:

Hei Sopuli,

Meillä on melko paljon yhteisöjä, jotka on hylätty / moderaattori on lähtenyt fediversestä, joten etsimme moderaattoreita jotka haluaisivat ottaa joitakin näistä yhteisöistä hoitaakseen.

Yhteisöihin, joihin emme löydä moderaattoreita, laitamme pystyyn postauksen jossa selitetään miten kyseisen yhteisön voi ottaa hoitaakseen ja ohjaamme postauksessa käyttäjät samankaltaiseen, aktiivisempaan yhteisöön.

Alla on luettelo yhteisöistä:

Active communities in need of moderators \ Aktiiviset yhteisöt jotka tarvitsisivat moderaattoreita:

Communities that subscribers wish would be more active \ Yhteisöjä joiden seuraajat toivoisivat olevan aktiivisempia:

Some of the following are active communities, but all of them would need moderation \ Jotkin seuraavista ovat aktiivisia yhteisöjä, mutta jokainen niistä tarvitsisi moderointia:

Then we had a user who made an account, made million communities but left shortly after \ Meillä oli käyttäjä joka loi miljoona yhteisöä ja lähti sitten menemään:

Finnish cities \ Suomen kaupunkeja:

Language learning \ kielten oppiminen:

Operating systems, programming, tech \ käyttöjärjestelmät, ohjelmointi, tekniikka:

Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy \ Henkisyys, uskonto ja filosofia:

Hobbies \ harrastukset:

Random \ satunnaiset:

    I’d also like to remind you all of donating to Lemmy’s developers, whether it’s via Patreon, Liberapay, crypto or other methods. They work full-time to make this brilliant open-source software, and as there are no ads, donating is the only way to ensure it.

    Haluaisin myös muistuttaa teitä kaikkia lahjoittamisesta Lemmyn kehittäjille, oli se sitten Patreonin, Liberapayn, kryptovaluutan tai muun keinon kautta. He työskentelevät täysipäiväisesti tämän loistavan avoimen lähdekoodin ohjelmiston parissa, ja kun mainoksia ei ole, lahjoittaminen on ainoa tapa tämän varmistamiseksi.

      Lemmy’s developers are tankie transphobes. And if you’re gonna say it’s only Nutomic, I’m gonna retort that the rest of them put up with that cryptofascist. They don’t deserve a cent until they shut down lemmy.ml.

    [email protected] should probably be deleted and/or merged into https://programming.dev/c/cpp

    I was hoping to get some Finnish C++ forum active there to differentiate, but since mine is the only post, I don’t think it’s going to catch on.

    Though I don’t mind taking the mod hat if there is interest for Finnish C++ forum at some point.

      Good idea!

      You could take over the community if you want, make a redirect post similar to the ones we have made in now-locked communities towards the programming.dev one, and lock the community for time being. You can unlock it anytime if there’s a need or you have an idea for the community.

      Would that sound good?

        Sure, I’m not sure about how exactly it works just yet but if that’s what has been done with other communities, that sounds good to me.

          Awesome! I’ll make you a mod there and then you’ll see some options such as “only moderators are allowed to post”, which is kind of "locking the community (you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to).

          You can almost just copy-paste the post on [email protected], post it in your community, and make it a “sticky” (I believe in lemmy-web-ui it’s called “feature post in community”).

          You are free to do as you will though. It can be open for e.g. finnish c++ discussion too and still have the stickied post to redirect general discussion to the active programming dev community.

          Edit: appointed you as a mod now

    I’m surprised there are this many communities on Sopuli.

    I checked out 10 that I might be interested in and none of them had posts during the last year, some of them never.

      Yeah many of the listed were created by the same user who just created a lot of communities and disappeared shortly after.

      We will probably remove those which are completely empty and which won’t find a moderator (or post a redirect to a more active equivalent and lock the community for now).

      I also see this as a good idea, but I checked out these communities and their mods seem to be also somewhat inactive on lemmy and there isn’t any more activity than on the sopuli one. While lemmy.world and SJW are really well administered instances that will deal with any issues quickly, I’d like to consider some options first maybe?

      I would have never found the first one with the community name, so I’d like to ask if you happen to know any other communities like that on lemmy?

          Ohh missed that! Am I completely wrong thinking that forumlibre is just a french speaking community for everything? Wondering how they would like us redirecting to them.

          I mean we do have [email protected] that also has french learners. This community was meant as a catch-all language learning community with more activity for languages that don’t necessarily have an active community yet on lemmy. We can redirect there too if we don’t have a dedicated and active space yet!

          Unlike the reddit equivalent [email protected] also accepts language specific questions and talk.

            You’re right, the other communities have indeed a different goal or are inactive. I should have looked more thoroughly in the first place

              Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate you throwing out ideas as I am quite lost with french :) no need to become a detective!

              I guess we could redirect to [email protected] community unless you’d like to personally take up the community under moderation (or we can do both, that you take it over and redirect until there’s a demand for learning community for french specifically).

              What do you think?

                Yes, that’s a good idea! I would be happy to take over the community then. And we can see if there’s enough activity or if it’s better to direct people somewhere else.

                  Awesome! Make a post / comment there and I can make you a mod! Doesn’t need to be anything fancy if you don’t have an idea, can be a “word of the day” type of a post :)

    I don’t know what the [email protected] was supposed to be about but if it is meant to be about making mead it is unnecessary because there is already [email protected]

    We agreed that it should stay general for everything beer, mead, wine … until there is really demand for splitting it to neache community’s.

      Ah you are right, and the homebrewing one has nice original content too!

      Think we can delete the mead one since it’s completely empty and quite niche.

      Thanks for brining this to our attention.

        Glad to help in my community it isn’t that active but still better than that one.

        I unfortunately don’t have that much time for it now but it is still moderated (even if it seems dead for some time). That’s what’s happens when me (the mod) goes biketouring for half a year.

          No need to have constant flow of content, as long as you guys have a community to go to and like to post to, it’s all good!

          Glad to hear and woah, that sounds pretty cool, hope you had a good time! Sounds like the moderation is active enough :)

          I doubt your community will ever attract a lot of bad actors and if something pops up we know that there are other eyes on the community and we can help. If you are not available it’s not the end of the world :) it’s the communities that have no eyes and the mod has clearly left fediverse that we worry about. Anyone can just post anything there.

          Edit: words

      That would be totally fine! No point in having a dead community if there is one with atleast low activity, so we can make a sticky post there and redirect to dbzer0’s community!

      I’ll write a similar post to all the redirect posts in a bit and then add it to the arab community on sopuli :)

      We’d be fine with redirect, but I’ll wait until the discussion in the linked post comes to somekind of conclusion. It seems the fxomt might lock privacy@dbzero and we would preferably not redirect to a locked community :)

      (we will probably redirect to more than one community because I personally follow a few and feel like if you only subscribe to one you’ll miss out). The redirect is mostly for new users afterall!

          Yeah the whole privacy community consolidation topic seems prettty tough.

          I think in the headline of redirect post we can mention programming.dev since it’s picking up momentum, but we’ll add all the active communities in post body so people can just follow them all if they want and want to keep up with all of the posts for now (i do that currently).

          Thanks for your efforts with this blaze.

          Done. And that’s yeah just noticed in your bio! I think they might appreciate a native hanging in the community :)

          Edit: no need of course, moderating one community can be quite a task on its own

      Hey Khaleer, any update on this? Totally fine if you are no longer up for modding; just need to be able to determine whether we still need to look for a mod on TF2 and esperanto communities.

    I’d be happy to take over [email protected]. I hadn’t realized there was a sopuli community for it, or I would have already been sharing some interesting articles there. I made a post here.

    I’d also be happy to help as a moderator for [email protected]. I don’t have as much to contribute there, but I’ve always enjoyed following that community. It might be better to have a lead mod there that is more active within the community though, so if anyone else wants that position I’d be happy to concede it to them. I have a comment here.

    A lot of the smaller communities here sound really interesting as well, but are completely devoid of posts. I agree with some of the other comments here that I think those communities should be retired, let someone else restart them later if they’re motivated to foster a new community.

        oops, sorry I dropped off the face of the earth. I was meaning to add another mod on anarchychess anyway since I’m not that active. [email protected] needs a new mod as well, i’ll go make a post

          Ah sweet, that’d be nice. Hope you are okay and hope you don’t mind a new mod on anarchychess.

          Would appreciate if you can look for mods on the comm itself as this post was mostly triggered by increase in reported activity.
