I gave you the mod role in [email protected]. Enjoy! :-)

Do you have a plan for what you will do with the community? Not to be rude, but you already mod over 50 communities and many of them are inactive or empty. We're a bit hesitant to consolidate large numbers of communities under a single user.

Would you consider editing the display name of the community to include ‘[Dormant community]’?

Done.

I locked the community and pinned an explanatory post. Best of luck to the slrpnk community!

As an aside, these situations always make me a little nervous that I'm going to step on a user's toes. The mod account having no visible post/comment/vote activity does not confirm that they are truly gone from Lemmy. They may have become a lurker.

 

This community appears to be inactive, and the moderator has no visible activity for several months. The community has been locked by request. Please head over to [email protected] for all your electric vehicle needs.

@[email protected] if you come back to lemmy.world feel free to unlock this community and use it as you see fit.

We're aware. AFAIK, nobody has expressed interest in taking over that community and bringing it back to life.

@[email protected] would you like to volunteer?

That's odd. It seems like your post didn't federate from feddit.org to lemmy.world for some reason. There does not appear to be significant federation lag between the two instances at the moment.

It's visible now. I pasted the feddit.org URL into the search bar on lemmy.world, which forces lemmy.world to fetch the post.

Your original post: https://feddit.org/post/4049097
Now visible on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/21190240

I removed your kbin.run alt from the moderators list of [email protected].
Sorry for taking three weeks to finally get around to it.

Try using the Photon front end. For adding and removing mods, it is more flexible than the standard lemmy-ui front end.

Lemmy.world did defederate from exploding-heads, but never defederated from hilariouschaos as far as I know. When hilariouschaos appeared the admin team discussed it and decided to take a wait-and-see approach. First, some of the more problematic exploding-heads users seemed to be gone. Second, by that time Lemmy had more blocking options for users to curate their own feeds, so instance-level defederation seemed less urgent.

We will discuss it again. Personally, it's been a while since I have peeked over the fence to see what they're up to over there.

A user suggested closing this community and directing people to [email protected]: https://lemmy.world/comment/11064376

The mod's account (@[email protected]) doesn't show any activity for 10 months, and traffic is low here. !football gets many more posts and has active mods.

Do other users have any objections to locking this community? I will wait at least a week so people have a chance to comment.

Due to the low level of legitimate use, lack of moderation, and potential for trolling and harassment around the current conflict in Gaza, we've decided to close and lock the community for the time being. If you're interested in moderating this community, reach out to us at the Lemmy.world support email ([email protected]) with your idea of a moderation strategy and how you would handle posts regarding the current conflict.

Hello everyone. I apologize for the rollercoaster ride in this community over the past week and a half. I have one more change to announce: @[email protected] has been removed as the community moderator. This is in response to multiple private complaints from community members, as well as behaviors inside and outside this community that were brought to the admin team’s attention.

I made the mistake of shortcutting the usual lemmy.world processes when I appointed the user as the new mod. If anyone would like to volunteer to become the new community moderator, you can email [email protected] and make a request. The lemmy.world community team will follow their process from there.

Again, I apologize for all the rapid changes.
