Yeah I noticed this immediately. I think the mods here are on average worse than reddit even

Start a new community on another instance. This is the power of the fediverse.

I don't have time to moderate a community or I would

I wouldn't worry about that... There won't be many posts and looking once per day is enough. :)

If you are a regular Lemmy user, it won't take any special time to keep an eye on such a small community.

So you're saying the workload won't be much because the new community will never be successful?

Well that kind of makes sense. After everyone left reddit, people came here and we're getting told to start communities left and right. I think the new mods need to learn how to do things in a more structured way.

For all it's flaws, reddit has built a decent system for helping mods get started, even if a lot of the actual support is provided directly by other mods and not by reddit itself.
