Sorting posts into the appropriate comm and leaving the rest in "Main" seems like a moderator job to me.
No.
Not their job, and there's no capability in lemmy for mods to move posts around like that. Even if we added one it would probably have to be exclusive to admins since mods are appointed at the comm level
But I 100% agree, sometimes there is not a perfectly appropriate comm, we could use some more broad ones probably. If you can come up with some specific examples, c/commrequest is there. However, if you leave main as a fallback people will use it for everything and we're back where we started.
Yeah, well that was half my job when I used to mod web-based forums. Sorting misfiled posts into the correct subforum. It's something that just comes with the job.
The problem is the limited number of comms. Despite this, some of this small number are very specific and get hardly any posts.
