    Most communities in the fediverse, to be fair, are pretty empty compared to their reddit counterpart

  • Eh, we are a lot smaller still I think. Reddit may have had about ~40x the users that Lemmy has at this stage. But you never know, we may get some random spike down the line. When you have 1 or 2 people in a community people give up, but if you have 20-40 it may seem pretty active and stay alive and grow.

    How should moderation work, instead?

    I have always liked the balanced approach that slashdot has.

    Users are asked by automation to moderate once they demonstrate reasonable engagement statistically. Then they are assigned a number of comments or posts to rate, not just updown votes but assign qualities, such as funny or insightful. This makes reading long threads more friendly.

    Also, more reliable moderators are invited to evaluate other moderations! Accountability!

    I am not sure why the model wasn't popular elsewhere.
