I don’t see any rules or guidelines for posting in the side bar, so was curious how we feel about posts with qualifying and race results? The f1 sub always posts a graphic with the top 3 as well as the classification, while the other f1 community here on Lemmy has a rule against posting any spoilers. Personally I always liked seeing the results and reading the discussions about them on the subreddit, but curious to see others opinions.
Another issue is I think the moderator is somewhat dormant and there’s no current process in lemmy to replace or add new ones without their approval. Bit of a lawless land at the moment. Formula1 on lemmy.ml has active moderators and sidebar and pinned posts, but very slightly less engagement though quite close.
The moderator of this sub was at least active today, so they are not completely absent. However, with the amount of activity here and considering how absent they appear throughout the week (and nothing wrong with being busy IRL!) it would probably be a good idea to get in touch with them and see if we can appoint another mod or two to lighten the load.
I saw a post a couple days ago where some members were trying to get in touch with him. I wonder if anything came of that. We did get the discussions pinned so that’s something at least.
If you check the modlog the user [email protected] was moderator for 7 minutes two days ago. Not sure what’s going on with that.
c/Football also had a fairly inactive Admin but the community managed to get in touch with him and he appointed a second mod who has been much more active. That seems like the best way to go. And in general this place will probably be too large soon for a single mod anyway, especially considering F1 needs coverage across multiple time zones.
After I made the post I got in contact with the lemmy.world admins and one of them made me mod for a few minutes and then removed me after he saw that the current mod is not completely inactive and said he’ll also try to see if he would be fine with me also being a mod (which to me is the best option, I don’t want to step on any toes). I’m still waiting to see what happens.
Hopefully we’ll get some more mods and some rules going because this community seems to be growing a bit faster than the one on Lemmy.ml
That’s good to hear. Hopefully you guys are able to get something worked out. It’s fun seeing this community grow, just needs some guidelines to help it keep going.
That’s great, I saw you post frequently, it’d be a good development for this community if you were added as a mod. Hope the current mod responds positively
Yeah, I’m having a hard time picking my go-to F1 community.
What is going on with the moderation here? This community seems slightly more active, especially the live race threads, but the lemmy.ml community has clearer guidelines and way more mods.
