So it's probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I'd like someone to actually nurture this community like I don't have time to. I'm talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of community building elements. On a lot of these it would probably be helpful to look at how the mod team over at r/Ukraine has handled things.

More specifically I'd really like to find someone Ukrainian who speaks the language to join the team, but that might be a bit much to ask at least in the short term.

Either way, consider this an invitation to apply if you think you'd be a good fit and you'd like to help nurture this community and help cleaning up spam and vile conduct. You'll need to message here in the thread since I believe Lemmy works in funny ways and you promote people through comments.

Agreed - those subs are one of the very few Reddit things I check anymore, largely because there’s not really a viable alternative that operates on a comparable scale.

I’m Ukrainian and that sub has been a huge source of support since the full-scale invasion started. It was a hard decision, but I quit reddit, and that community, cold-turkey. And you know what, I’ve been doing good so far. I’m excited to see what the communities on lemmy will become.
