So, I just kinda stumbled into one of the communities here (/c/casualconversation) and noticed it was empty, nothing in the sidebar, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to make a post & try to help it out.
Well, uh, I happened to look at the moderator’s profile and XeNoX has apparently been pretty busy making a load of communities here. Technically nothing wrong with that, and I’m not super familiar with lemm.ee’s rules regarding this, but I thought it might be worth giving folks here a heads-up.
On the plus side, you have a bunch of communities already open that just need some more moderators & descriptions/rules set up, lol
They’ve posted some explanations before, as have done other people who follow the same pattern. Basically it’s to make it easier for people who are migrating into the feddi/lemmyverse to post stuff on the instance they land on, without having to deal with some of the quids of federation so abruptly.
AFAIK, the people who tend to create communities with that pattern (people, not bots) are more than happy to give them away to more responsible people since that’s kind of the point.
Disclaimer: I’ve thought of doing the same for helping discoverability of the stuff I moved here from reddit for.
