The Plan
As an introductory subproject, I will be reaching out directly to Lemmy moderators and asking for their experiences establishing and growing their communities. Once compiled, a summary of the experiences will be written up in a living document for current best practices. To do this, I will be contacting moderators in sets of roughly 5-10 at a time. This will allow for constructive iteration in a way that posting on the “new community” subs (as is more or less standard practice) simply would not.
What then?
Once there are enough resources to be useful I’ll make announcement posts in relevant communities as well as reach out to the mods of communities like !newcommunities@lemmy.world about being linked in the sidebar.
And long term?
We’ll organize a series of activity drives intended to build bonds and strengthen the institutional knowledge of the fediverse. These initiatives may include:
- Wiki Building
- Outreach Drives
- Community Consolidation and Organization
- Cross-Community Collaboration
- Housecleaning
