I've contacted the admins, they're now aware of the issue. They'll try to contact @porn@lemmynsfw.com themselves first before taking any further steps.
Other than the initial reply no. I doubt I will though, it would make more sense for them to announce something publicly than message little old me lol
I'm sure slowly there'll be enough mods. But very annoying that the user hasn't been on since. I thought about starting a "bigtittygothgf" community but decided against it because I have no mods.
My point is that only /u/porn (or an admin?) can add another moderator to their subs, and given that they're not on we already have popular comms without mods.
I think if you start a community here, you should at least add a few posts to get the ball rolling and then stick around to moderate and/or build a mod team.
I think for this you really need to rope in the admins to create a system for installing moderators to unmoderated communities. That, however, can only happen once there are enough active mods on the site to begin with, which will take time.
I'm not sure we need a system yet, I'm just saying we should address the few communities we have that are effectively unmoderated yet active.
I'm hoping/assuming the admins see this, because we'll need them to do this.
Hm maybe in the future to surpass this issue, the requirement to open a community should be to nominate at least 1-2 additional moderators? 🤔 And without that a community can't be created?
Well that just made me realize there isn't one here already somehow
If modding Lemmy is anything like other forums I could probably manage to at least some degree to help, and this might be the cause to make me actually get off my lazy ass.
It's a good idea, I think. That way we can have a load of us with overlapping comms to cover all time-zones and real-life getting in the way.
Yes, the admins of this instance can add new mods but I think they should create a community for community requests to make it a clear straightforward process.
Hey. Just saw this post.
I'm a mod with that user on
Let me know if you want to mod these communities.
