How do people go about finding moderators they trust for a community? I could find someone who posts a lot and then ask them in a private message, but maybe there is some other way. Do people mainly mod people they know personally? I kind of want to find someone who is in a completely different time zone so they would be awake...

So I just started with the fediverse, I heard about it for years, but never did the real jump to go full in. For now I started with lemmy because it seems to be the easiest option. I wanted to do a small recap of tip, tricks and general usage flow....
I have a server I can use for hosting “stuff”. I want to add containers to host and help with the fediverse load balancing. Lemmy is a pain so if anyone has a simple docker yaml, could you share? And pixelfed is really cool so anyone know how to dockerize it and share it’s yaml? Cheers friends!
So I’m using mlem and wefwef apps. Issues with my comments and posts being posted. Also mlem app seems to have issues with photos both non nsfw and nsfw. Anyone else?
When I try posting a message in a community on that instance it just shows a spinning wheel forever. Anyone managed to post messages there recently?
I'm new to Lemmy, and I was not a Reddit user. I have been using Mastodon regularly since November, so I am familiar with the general concepts of instances in the Fediverse....

I just created awesome-lemmy based on the well-known awesome lists....

I’m currently on a mission to compile a list of health-related communities and overall maybe turn that community into something useful and available to everyone. (If someone wants to help, I’ll welcome it. This is just a quick and dirty start.)...
It would be nice to see a feature or some kind of extension to redirect Lemmy links from other instances to yours so you can interact with them. Because you need an accound to interact and it’s on another instance....
On Reddit you could make a custom feeds with selected subreddits for when you wanted to focus on specific topics. Suuuuper useful for more niche stuff that gets drowned out by larger subs on the Home feed....
Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136....
So, it started out like this....
I saw someone post about FediSearch, its very helpful but a little inconvenient to have to switch search engines just for lemmy, so I implemented their search query directly into my browser with Chrome’s search shortcuts. Figured I’d write up a guide since this seems to be one thing a lot of y’all are missing from reddit,...
various tips : fedi.tips...
So, somehow I got lost in the internet woods and came across birdsiteLIVE - which is basically a bot that makes twitter accounts viewable on the fediverse with activitypub(it’s one way unfortunately, so twitter accounts won’t see any replies or anything like that)....
This page on my personal site is a curated list of information about Mastodon and the Fediverse. There’s a form at the bottom to submit other (not-yet-listed items).
