FHF Lemmy.World Site-Admin
docs.google.comThe Fedihosting Foundation is looking for a new site-admin for Lemmy.World, to help our busy team. This moderator will help with reviewing and acting on reports, weighing in on user content and helping foster our local communities while acting as a friendly neighbor to other fediverse instances.
Please be aware, that we will only be considering applicants with a significant positive history of online posts and/or comments. You also DO NOT need to have an account on one of our FHF services but WILL have to create an account after joining. Users from other sites WELCOME!
Applicants MUST have the following qualities:
- Experience moderating a diverse group of individuals
- Excellent interpersonal skills and communication
- Solid background in conflict resolution
- Able to both understand and interpret the spirit of our legal documents (ex legal.lemmy.world)
- Must be able to speak English
- Works well asynchronously with remote teams
Bonus skills / background:
- Experience with internet law and international legal compliance
- SQL / Business Intelligence software skills (MetaBase)
- Social Media marketing
- Web Design (Hugo + GitHub Pages)
Please keep in mind that, while this is a volunteer gig, we would ask you to be able to commit to at least 5-10 hours a week. We also understand this is a hobby and that family and work come first.
Applicants must be okay with sitting for a video interview and must pass a background check. While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.
We are an international team that works from both North America EST time
(-4) and Europe CEST (+2) so we would ask that candidates be flexible with their availability.
Think they will accept my application?
Even reddit understood this in its early years. They were gung ho about being pro-community and had some genuinely good staff back then who consistently communicated openly with that community. They had an open source development community and all sorts of shit. This was all built on contribution and trust. If they wanted someone, they didn’t do applications they reached out to people personally that they already knew would be good for the roles.
They are trying to mimick reddit today rather than reddit during its early life when it was doing all the right things you needed to do with the early adopter audience.
