Sorry for the vague question but I’m hoping there’s a lot I"m missing. I know I can edit the side bar, icon, and banner. Make the community public or private and there’s a “mod posting only” option. But is that it?

Some things I’m wondering about,

  • can I turn downvotes off or is that an instance only thing? (fan community, off topic would just be removed)
  • Is there any other way to manipulate the community page like backgrounds etc?
  • Flair’s or post tags? Any community settings I looked over?
  • Allowing or disallowing bots (again is this an instance thing?)

I’m fine with what it is, just wanted to make sure there wasn’t more I was missing with my options in the community.

Bonus question, besides crossposting and the “new communities” community sections, is there anything else I should do with a fresh community?

    Allowing down votes and bots is at the instance level.

    No flair, post tags or CSS edits.

    Don’t forget to check mod reports every so often.
