I was thinking that creating communities like “kate” or “kdenlive” would help organize the instance.

Does this make sense? Or is the instance too small for that?

    I asked about kdenlive already. Every community needs moderators and here it seems they need to be KDE contributors

      Those don’t really seem like related skillsets. Community managers aren’t usually asset contributors.

        Yeah, it’d be great to have developers participating in discussions on here, but I don’t think most would have either the skillset or desire to moderate a community. Obviously there would be some exceptions there, but I can’t see a reason as to why it would be mandatory.

          Otherwise we may end up like GrapheneOS ;D a community moderated by stressed out devs with bad people skills

        When your too busy moderating the community to contribute to kde, so you lose your moderator status. You’re also too busy contributing to kde to moderate the community.

        It would make more sense to change that to “Community managers are managed by contributors”. Less effort for them and potentially better moderation.
