Just wondering if there’s a limit as to how many communities one person can moderate? One of the problems with Reddit was that there are several moderators who run way too many of the popular subs. There really should be a limit as to how many subs one person can moderate, maybe 3 to 5, in my humble opinion. Wondering if there is a rule about that here, or if that’s some thing that can be implemented.
Lemmy is not reddit, anyone can spin up an instance and mod their own subcoms, so I dont know how effective such an idea would be.
Maybe just settle in for a bit and not lean into pushing immediately for authoritarian control by admins for what is viewed as an open platform?
What are your thoughts on this?

Guy created an account, made no posts or comments, but has registered 200+ communities and is now a top mod on all of them.
Maybe a better option would be to limit the number of communities one can create (or become a mod of) in a limited amount of time? (e.g. you can create or be a mod of up to N communities in M hours/days) This would reduce the number of spam community creation cases and won’t be over restrictive.
Also, anyone can spin up an instance and create any number of communities there, but I think that is a significantly different case than one creating 1000s of communities here. It requires more time spent by the spammer, and most likely some money, which would discourage at least some spammers.
