Also known as @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works
!climate@lemmy.world was just resurrected a few days ago, so now we have two redundant climate communities on this instance. Would it make more sense to lock one of these communities and direct people to the other?
If you really want both communities open, then I can give you the mod role for !climatechange@lemmy.world. The current mod definitely appears to have left Lemmy.
Of the three community mods, it looks like xohshoo is still active on Lemmy every couple of weeks. Have you tried messaging them directly? If not, that should be the first step before we consider taking their community and handing it to you or someone else.
Taken care of now. Thanks for the heads-up.
Removed.
You can PM one of us admins about it via Lemmy or Matrix.
If it’s an active community then we’ll pass it on to the rest of the team to see if a new mod can be found. As I type this, my lemmy.world reports dashboard shows 363 open user reports. We need attentive mods in our active communities to handle those; the admin team can’t possibly keep up on our own.
If it’s an inactive community then we will probably just leave it alone. The incremental cost of having one more inactive community on the instance is negligible. On the other hand, intervening has the potential to create trouble if the mod eventually logs in and sees that their community has been changed/locked/removed while they were away.
I assigned you as the moderator to !popculture@lemmy.world
Assigning/removing mods is a manual process handled on a case-by-case basis. There is no official policy about removing banned users from their mod roles, though that doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Communities with no mods (or absent/inattentive mods) keep humming along until something brings them to the admin team’s attention. There are hundreds of communities like that on this instance. Lemmy.world does have a Community Team who try to find and address communities that need moderation help. It’s a big task, though.
Nope. It’s still an open request: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3710
I added you as a community mod.
@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back to Lemmy.
I added you as a mod.
@Photographer@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back.
I made you the mod. The prior mod (@AAjax@lemmy.world) has been inactive for months.
As the other user mentioned, I suggest using a lemmy.world account for moderating lemmy.world communities. When using an account on a remote instance you do not receive the reports from that community.
Did you change the language settings in your account? It looks like you’re consistent about tagging posts as English. If that language was deselected in your account settings then all of your posts would be hidden when you are logged in.
Edit: This post was tagged as Afaraf. You might want to change that to English or Unspecified.
I discussed it with the community team, and we decided to give you the mod role. !genealogy@lemmy.world is yours now!
I discussed this briefly with the LW community team. Congratulations, you are the new mod of !star_wars@lemmy.world.
!climatechange@lemmy.world is now yours. Since you also moderate !climate@lemmy.world I’ll leave you to lock it if you like.
