Hey you!

I just created a community.
And started to wonder whether it's cool/interesting enough. Or whether it even follows the rules to exist in the first place, heh...

There's one old post about the matter already: https://lemmy.world/post/285637?sort=New
It discusses generating enough content in a new community to give some ground for discussion, and moderating it.

But I thought that as time has passed...maybe we'd have some new/more insight or ideas/thoughts about different tips, tricks or guidelines towards creating a quality community? A 2025 version of that old post, if you will.

We've got something in the works here:

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-moderators

We're still adding and brainstorming content, and then we'll organize it nicely (similar to the For Users section).

What kind of information would you like to have?

Hmm. A good question.

Common community rules (a template, if you will), a few examples of a good post (and a bad post), things to think about/keep in mind when posting or creating a community...
