I wish r/polls equivalent on Lemmy was more popular. As a moderator, how often should I post or engage to help increase its activity and attract more users?

    Some clients go out of their way to mark posts by a moderator in some way, though. Alexandrite makes their username bright green an bold, for instance.

    I wonder what portion of users are turned off by stepping into a community and discovering that basically every post is from its only moderator, and thus feel that whatever-it-is is probably just that individual’s personal hobby horse.

    Not that I’d know, or anything…

      This is something I really think Reddit did better than Lemmy tbh. Mods don’t appear special in any way, unless they specifically declare “this post is me acting as a moderator”. And only then is it highlighted green (or in some other way depending on the client). Ditto admins.
