MODERATORS
 

Most communities are not the sole community related to their topic, there are really often other communities on the same, or similar topics.

An example: there are a tonne of art related comunities, but only a small handful of them have links to other related communities.

It would be great if there was more of a culture of propping up semi-related communities. This would be particularly useful for helping more niche communities get rolling.

Without addressing the main problem, that moderators that suck have impunity, under the reddit system, where they have influence beyond their groups, lemmy is bound to be simply a group of malcontents banned from reddit.

We need a new system, not reddit fediversed. There is a reason we haven't taken off in popularity, and you douchy moderators are a big part of that.
