Memes communities tend to be very popular
Due to the topic of the community, there might be some heated debates and discussions in the comments (the example above with the vegan cat food is a good example). That might be quite time-consuming to follow and moderate

Based on this, I think we would need probably at least 5 mods to make sure the community stays sufficiently moderated.

Are any of you interested?

Memes communities tend to be very popular

Maybe, but if it's limited in scope to memes about the Fediverse, the community might not exactly be overrun. Hardly anyone in the Fediverse memes the Fediverse, and outside the Fediverse where the huge majority of memes on Lemmy come from, nobody does.

That is, if such a community exists, maybe it'll drive people to meme the Fediverse in the first place.

Indeed. There was another goad load of drama last week on Lemmy, definitely material for some memes

By the way, which instance would you like to host it on?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Might as well be lemm.ee.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually I just remember lemmy.zip could be nice too

@BrikoX@lemmy.zip would you like to mod too?

[–] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for asking, but memes are not my thing. Though, I can add a mention to the community in !fediverse@lemmy.zip sidebar.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

Alright, we'll keep you posted

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm all about the memes, so feel free to use dbzer0

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thanks for offering! Do you know mods on your instance who would be interested in modding this community with us?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Ah no I don't have anyone specific in mind. But they don't have to be from my instance anyway. Personally I find that at the start of a comm, there's not much moderation needed anyway

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

Also bear in mind that Admins also get reports and can step in to help out - dbzero has half a dozen.

sure I'm down🤗

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good to know, thanks! 2 more mods to go 😄

[–] recursive_recursion@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

even if we don't find additional mods at this exact moment lemmy know if you still want to create the community as I'm sure we'll find willing mods in the near future🌻

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm on the cautious side on this one, seeing the cat vegan foot debate is still getting comments a week after, I expect the potential of reports for memes talking about such dramas to be quite high 😅

[–] recursive_recursion@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

honestly that's totally fair👍

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I think that's an exception. It'll mostly be beans.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I already mod too much, but someone please tell me as soon as this is a thing so I can sub and post.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

We'll keep you posted!
