I am a huge car enthusiast and I moderate several car related communities on Reddit, but ever since the blackout and one of Reddit’s biggest mistakes, I’ve been moving to Lemmy and the Fediverse but I would really like to help moderate c/cars - [email protected]
It’s moderator although has been inactive for months, is the sub really lost or am I missing something that I haven’t learned about yet? Anyway I can request the community?
There was such a rush for claiming/creating communities before the user base was large enough to support them. I’m surprised that there aren’t more of these issues, and also surprised that there isn’t a procedure in place for addressing the issue. Good luck in tracking this down.
That is terrible, so many of the communities I’d actually like to moderate and even move from Reddit (as I mod some of them on Reddit) to here is impossible as many of them are taken by inactive mods.
I have seen Admins assign new mods to dead communities with inactive mods. You may need to @ an Admin and explain why you should be a mod of the community in question.
I see, I will try that thank you
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Ty for letting me know! Just edited it
EDIT: Oh, it’s a bot 😅
I requested taking ownership of [email protected] a few months ago. Posting a request in this support forum is hit or miss, but sending an email to [email protected] (to create a support ticket, as it says in the sidebar) about it got a response from an admin quite quickly, so I’d recommend that route.
