Hey everyone, just wanted to do a post looking for a couple more admins for the instance

Currently most tasks have been getting done by snowe or I with snowe handling most things in the backend and me for things people see such as community management

So that tasks are spread out a bit more and so that I can focus more on things such as building up our new frontend just wanted a couple more people to help out with various tasks

Mostly looking for people to help with community management in the instance. This includes

If you dont have much history in the instance send me a link where I can see past chatting (e.g. mastodon, reddit, etc.). We also are using discord as a platform for the admins to talk to each other so you have to be able to use that

If you want to apply feel free to dm me or say so below.

I'm happy to lend a hand.

I'm based in the UK so would be most active in the evening hours of UTC.

I work as a software developer with a reasonable amount of work involving server administration so if it's useful then I'm also happy to lend a hand there (even to just bounce bugs off of).

If my activity here is not enough yet, then I can share my old Reddit account (although I wiped a lot of it when the API changes were initially announced there).

I'll also not be offended if you pass me up for more suitable volunteers.

Your site activity here is fine, would be happy to have you. Already went through and dmed a couple people that that priority for the role before making a post here so going mostly off of fcfs for people that are at least decently active around various parts of the instance

If you pass me your discord account I can add you to the admin chats

[–] bugsmith 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, great. I've sent you my account via DM.

Update here, for anyone else who hasnt already posted space is filled but if you want you can still post for if we ever need admins again in the future

How many ~hours per week is expected for the role, and are there any particular day(s) when most of the activity is happening.

I'd be happy to help out.I live in Norway with active hours ~05-22 CEST. For more personal information, feel free to DM. My discord username is the same as this username if you prefer that.

Maybe around 5 hours a week. Definitely depends on what tasks youre doing though and for some things its mostly spread out in small intervals. No specific day that its concentrated on currently. tends to depend more on events in the space

Will send you a dm
