I run a community of over 11K almost by myself on reddit and I can’t say I struggle to moderate it. Here on Lemmy I post to one I set up, but I’m the only one doing it. That said, I saw virtually no moderation tools, so it would definitely help to have something. However, I don’t want my posts to get lost or be spread across two or more communities, as opposed to having everything searchable in one place. What would be the technical obstacle in copying the posts and preserving the dates? If size is an issue, they could be capped to a specific size, only with the metadata transferred in those cases.
Yes, my reddit activity is pretty much limited to that now. I don’t want to abandon the community.
