Thanks to everyone that responded to fill the second moderator spot outside the US. I received more than a dozen messages and will respond back to each one within the next 24 hrs to either add you to a future community moderators list or schedule a quick onboarding to get you started.

We are already getting close to 3K, so I may select more than two moderators.

Again thank you.

Update # 1:
A big thank you to everyone that’s volunteered. We have one more spot open for anyone in a different time zone other than the US. We’re looking for anyone in Europe or Asia willing to volunteer. Again thanks!

Original Post
*Hello everyone. I can’t believe the growth we’ve had not only on Lemmy.world, but in our Apple community. More than 2k in just a few days.

With the growth, I’m asking for volunteers to help moderate the community. If you’re interested, let me know. I’m looking for two community moderators in different time zones.

We already have a great community with active discussions and posts. Let’s keep it up. Again, thank you to everyone that’s joined and welcome!*

      No previous experience is needed. I plan on holding a Lemmy community moderator session to help onboard the new moderators. As far as time zones, there’s not a specific one. It could be in the US or Europe, just as long as we get coverage.

    What would you guess is the weekly time commitment on this?

    I’d love to help, but don’t have infinitive time unfortunately. :-)

      Thank you for responding. We already have another volunteer from the US and are now looking for someone in Europe or Asia. I will add your name to the list, as we may need one or two more moderators within the next month or two.

      The time commitment would not be more than checking the community at least 3 times daily and helping to respond to reported violations.

    I would be interested in helping if you need someone for Eastern hours but would also like to know expected time commitment.

    I’m located in Australia if you still need someone. I don’t have any mod experience but would love to help Lemmy grow

    I’m located in the US so not what you need right now but if you need a mod in the future I’ll throw my hat in the ring.

    I’m located in Sweden and used to be one of the mods for /r/Skyrim about a decade ago 🫣, I could absolutely help out with moderating but not very much else, no custom CSS-support or similar to bring to the table.
    Instead I’m here, probably everyday, and can help keep the place friendly and on topic!
