What to do when the parent moderator leaves a community? (self.moderators)

The originating moderator of a community that I mod hasn’t been around for about 6 months.

What do y’all do when someone peaces out? Is there a way to hand the parent mod account to whoever is next in line?

Admin can if you ask and they feel motivated. It is how I took the lead spot in 3d printing after basically doing everything mod related already. That was in the first few months of the rexodus surge. There were actual mod flags and things to deal with back then. Admin already do 99% of the wack-a-mole nonsense here.
