What do you mean by "privacy" on the lemmy side? And aren't the mods mostly the same mods that were active onnreddit before?
Hi, I'm Serinus of the Lemmy.World Community Team checking in.
No. Most of the mods from Reddit stayed on Reddit to desperately cling to "power".
Also, if you want to help with this, talk to me about modding a community or two.

It generally takes about five minutes a month to mod a medium (Lemmy) sized community. I have to beg people to volunteer, and they often turn me down.
Our top mods seem to be great people, but I'm still trying to informally limit how many communities they have in favor of having more diversity and fresh blood. But it's difficult when they're willing to actively help out, and I have to go beg otherwise active people who turn me down.
Please, if you don't like super mods and you want to actually help, go take a look at some of your favorite communities right now. See if the mods have posted in the last couple months. If they haven't, talk to me about modding that community. Mention this post.
