But i have no idea what the actual moderation process is - how much time will it take up? what common issues exist? do i advertise? what am i in for?

RIP r/ over 30 people subs.

    Moderation for starting communities is rarely needed, given the lack of posts. But if ever needed to moderate, first and foremost, don’t jump the gun.

    Also, on rules, if you don’t make any, still at least imo, instance rules and staying on topic would apply.

    And either through those or by making your own, beware those that stretch the definitions of the rules. In such cases, I’d recommend avoiding making new rules unless absolutely needed, else you’d be falling for their engineering.

    And not related to moderation, but you can make a community mention to make it easier to find across the fediverse: !over30@lemmy.world (!over30@lemmy.world)

      Just saw it’s a 3 years old post. Sorry for the necro. My instance’s misbehaving a bit on post sorting.

      Keeping the comment though, in case someone finds it relevant.
