I’ve been posting at https://lemmy.ca/c/framework on and off over the past couple of months and the community is growing. However, I don’t know the mods, they haven’t said anything, and I can’t contact them (when I visit their pages, the pages are blank?)
Since it’s a new community, I have some faith in strangers of good will, but I’d prefer to establish some kind of rapport or something with the mods in case I’ve completely misunderstood their intent in creating the community, and to establish some basic ideas around moderation etc.
How does this communication aspect on Lemmy work? Thanks.
Since the two existing moderators are no longer on Lemmy, I’ve removed them and added you as the moderator of /c/framework
Good luck in making it a thriving community 🙂
Thanks!
It’s awesome that you have been actively posting in a newly created community.
That’s very kind of you.
The mods accounts seem to each be deleted. You’ll have to contact the admins of lemmy.ca they’ll probably give you mod rights
Yup, previous mods seem deleted.
Transferring might make the most sense if OP is up for it.
Probably something for @[email protected]Handled, thanks for the ping :)
It looks like the mods of that community deleted their accounts, which is why the pages are blank. Which means that any moderation is being done by the admin team, which isn’t ideal.
There are a few communities like that where we haven’t gotten around to actively recruiting new mods for them. Instead we’ve been looking into it when requests come up.
So on that note, would you like to be a mod? It looks like you’re doing a great job of growing the community :)
That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! Yes, I think I can help out there as a mod.
Sounds great :)
If the mods exist, you would follow the steps you did to get to their user page and attempt to contact them.
If you see a “couldn’t find user” page, then contact one of the server admins.
Unrelated to your question, but thanks for another community to subscribe to.
Ha! Glad such a niche thing could be useful to you :)
