Is there a meta-community for discussing ways to grow & manage Lemmy communities (not instances)?

I just assumed critical conversations like this were done in an obscure discord were all the information is locked away and difficult to search.

-_-

Sorry, I temporarily forgot I was on the cool part of the internet

This sounds similar to !digitalcommunitybuilding, which was in the process of setting up :)

For kbin

Not that I’m aware of, just communities that seem like they might fit, but don’t quite:

!communitypromo
!communityspotlight
!newcommunities
!newcommunities

I’m sure you could make a more meta-type post in one of these though.

!newcommunities ?

Not that I’m aware of.

But what would such a group actually do?

Discuss moderation best practices I guess

That could be part of it, but I was thinking more in terms of sharing resources like what you linked in your other comment as well as other methods to encourage community activity.

Also technical stuff like what to be aware of regarding banner/image resolutions, language settings, handling community handoffs to other moderators, etc. Basically a mix of more specific Lemmy support and general community building/outreach discussion.

This is something that’s also been in the back of my mind. It would be great to have some best practices listed somewhere, or just a general knowledge base

I wrote down some ideas and never got around to doing something about it
