Here’s how things will go:

1.) I will prioritize users that were/are engaging with this community in on-topic manner.

2.) I will prioritize users that don’t have (much) controversial history.

3.) I will prioritize users that have regular activity on their account to make sure things will be actually moderated.

4.) I will prioritize users that don’t moderate many communities.

5.) You can share something simple about what would you like to do with the community. For example keeping it like it was so far and just moderating titles, spam, and some posts that really lack any ‘hmmm’ value. Or changing the rules a bit and adding “nothing political” alongside other things. Up to you to share your views. I don’t expect anything long, just something short and on point.

6.) I will not pay attention to the votes on applications although I may look into it if the user gets downvoted to see if there’s a reason.

7.) I will pick 2 moderators next day to ensure a better moderation coverage. Doesn’t matter if those mods decide to recruit some other users from the application.

Would be good if at least one mod had an account on LW because there are report federation issues (should be fixed in lemmy v1) and mod action taking issues. For example I can’t moderate or demote someone using an account that’s on a remote instance to the community AFAIK. Other actions like content removals/bans should work but who knows when even if the OP themselves removes the post it can have a federation hiccup and not federate to other instances.
