The title, really.
On Reddit, I was one of the ubiquitous lurkers. I’d like to maybe participate a little more on Lemmy, now that I’m here. I might even like to start a community, but I’m concerned about what kind of a commitment I might be getting myself into. I really have quite enough BS in my life without inviting more.
I’d be grateful for any advice, experience, or warnings folks might have. Thanks, and have a good one!
Edit: Thanks everyone for your responses! Maybe I will try my hand at a community or two!
At the moment almost zero. If it gets very active and you want to enforce rules like no reposting or something like that it could be a tiny bit. Mean users etc will also be managed by the server.
I guess it’ll depend on the size of the community you create. There maybe will some time in the future where it’ll take you some time to moderate the community. But I guess that if the community gets as large as this and you don’t want to invest that much time you can look for people who’ll help you with the moderation.
I also have a lot of questions regarding how same communities on different servers would look like. There are already 2 c/technology communities. Are they totally seprate or the data is synced between the two?
Yes totally separate
