I mean, you can simply ask. 😃

In terms of responding to user reports, I take care of most of those all over aussie.zone. Even if I'm not listed as a mod in a community, I still review the reports.

As to curation of communities, I'm personally very light touch. I'll nuke spam instantly, but generally permit the community decide what to do about content beyond that. We may reach a critical mass someday where that won't be sufficient, but I don't think we're there, yet.

If someone wants to really get involved and manage a community, I'll support that, too. I'd love to see an /r/askhistorians here, for example. I don't think we're a large enough instance that I need worry about power-hungry types becoming tyrants in their communities. It's also trivial to un-mod them again, also. So
