The title is self-explanatory. If nobody volunteers by 22 February (that’s 2 weeks from now) then this community will be locked, and there will be a pinned post directing users to !microblogmemes@lemmy.world.
It would be unfortunate to close this community. It is the most popular one on our instance (3.48k subscribers and >300 weekly users). But the sh.itjust.works admins don’t have time to properly moderate it in addition to our other commitments.
Edit: Due to the report federation bug in Lemmy (GitHub issue #3791) it is highly recommended that you use a sh.itjust.works account for the moderator role.
Edit 2: We have a new mod!
I’d be willing to try moderating if you’re willing to give me a shot.
I don’t have any experience being a mod but I do work in a high-level position for a semi-national corporation. De-escalating people, finding solutions to sometimes complex issues and working together on a smallish team, is a few of the many things I do day to day. I can go more in depth, in private, if you want to know more.
I’m okay with letting you try your hand at moderating. However, I forgot about the report federation bug in Lemmy (I added an edit to the post just now). You should create a sh.itjust.works account to moderate communities here or you will not be able to receive user reports. Using you kbin account would basically be flying blind.
Thank you for the chance and the information. I’ve tried creating an account under two different email providers (same username) and I’ve received the same error: email_send_failed. I’ve tried a few hours apart but no luck. I’ve also tried two separate browsers, clearing cookies/cache/history in both as well.
Should be manually verified now for @SendMeYourTaTas@sh.itjust.works
