Hi,
I noticed that the sole mod of this community seems to be an inactive account.
Although this community is very civilised, I wonder if a) there should be another mod from an active account, or b) we have the power to add a mod.
I don’t think we can add a mod (except for instance admins). The scariest thing about the setup on lemmy is that when the account that created the community gets deleted, the whole community with all its contributions disappears immediately. Even if there are additional mods.
@qua Are you still around? We’re discussing the potential need to transfer ownership of the !fountainpens@lemmy.world community.
Agreed. Are you interested in being a mod? I’m willing to take on the role.
How many do you reckon we need?
I’d be happy to, but there are probably people who have contributed more than me.
You can go to the Lemmy.World support community and request it.
We can’t, but the instance admins can. I was directly solicited by an admin to mod one community, and I was made a mod of another simply by dint of being basically the only poster there (go on, guess which one) so it’s possible if we message the admins.
