What is the policy on inactive mods? (self.support)

I'm basically alone on 3d printing. It might be a good idea to recruit some help at some point, but I'm in a conundrum about what to do. I didn't create the community, and I'm the 4th mod down. The other 3 are not active. I don't want to discourage them, but I don't want the community to get discouraged by inactive mods either. I try to check posts at least a few times a day, and I have no intention of leaving. I kinda bounce around in interests and am neck deep in AI stuff at the moment. It would be nice to know I have some good help and am not alone here. Do I just keep kicking the can and hope the other mods come back?

Then I say kick em and bring in mos that will do the job.

I'm below them on the list

Don't worry about that, you are the only active moderator, kick the inactive ones out and post a message about looking for new people to support you.

I know that as a member I find it weird when a community is unmoderated, so you want to avoid that

Only admins can kick people above a mod. I sit in fourth with 3 dead accounts on top of me. It is no big deal, but like, if I'm going to message a mod about something, I would probably just send the message to the top mod. In this case, that would be a dead end.

~~Shouldn't you have "remove as mod" when you click on the 3 buttons icon on one of the inactive mods?

I used it in the past between my alts, it works without need of an admin.

I am not sure what you mean with mods being on top of you. AFAIK, mods on Lemmy are equal, there is no such hierarchy.~~
