I came across !gaming@piefed.social recently and found there is no way to make posts in the community. I tried contacting the mod a couple of weeks ago but they seem to be out?

The community (which has over 1k subscribers) itself is locked and users cant post. Is there a way to unlock a community?

    I can see this working in smaller instances/one offs (which I hope they all are). but it sounds exhausting to constantly be pinged by users. But IDK maybe it will work for us now.

        If uesrs in a community had a way to communicate with admins, remove mods, etc… to the reddit admins there may have not been such a push-back when the API apocalypse happened. Maybe.

        Maybe we just think about it and revisit when it actually becomes a problem.

        Its probably preemptive on my part. We have mostly good communities around the fediverse.

      An option to help manage this is to allow requests only via the help community (explicit post with the right flair) and say triage the requests once every two weeks.

      Just a thought.
