We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.
If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.
If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.
Right now, there isn't a lot. It's just if something off topic or blatant advertising goes in. Users so far are pretty decent but with more mods, we can respond quicker. This request was more preemptive to remove the bus factor or holiday lag.
navigating to this community from programming.dev, i see that there are only 73 subscribers. Clicking on your link get take to a page that says 6.27k subscribers. Any idea why there is a discrepancy in. Is something with federation going wonky?
Ummmm don't know if it gives me cred but I was a major reddit user before making the jump. You may have to teach me somethings but I am a quick learner and spend most of my time now on lemmy from 8am till 10pm everyday. Well unless i get drunk or something and pass out before hand lol. But it would kind of be neat to be a mod.
