Introduction to the (first) moderator (lemmy.ml)

Hi!

I'm starting this community because I want it to exist. I think it could be really awesome and I'm looking forward to being a part of it!

I'm not a technical authority on Lemmy or Rust, at all. You should see me as a "learner" here as much as anyone else. I see my role here as a "community manager", not a leader or anything like that.

And in that spirit, I don't see myself as "owning" this community in any way. Meta discussions on the community and me as a moderator are welcome and encouraged, provided, of course, that they're constructive and respectful. I've not moderated a sub-lemmy or sub-reddit before (only small chat groups), so in reality, I'm not a "good" moderator and will simply be doing my best. It's inevitable that I'll do something stupid, careless or misguided and I'm happy to hear feedback.

If you also want to become a moderator, let me know. If you think I should work on something as a moderator, let me know. If you think it'd be better if I stood down as moderator, let me know. This community isn't mine, it's ours. Any help and guidance is most welcome! The only thing I'd ask, apart from respectfulness, is to appreciate that an inundation of feedback can be a bit much and I'm a finite person with finite time burdened with an emotional brain.

Learning Rust and Lemmy

231 readers
6 users here now

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.

Running Projects

Policies and Purposes

  1. This is a place to learn and work together.
  2. Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
  3. This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
  4. This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules

  1. Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
  2. Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
  3. Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
  4. See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
  5. Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.
