the only moderator seems to have fallen off Lemmy 2 years ago
My post there: https://lemmy.ml/post/5768010
Then again, there is !selfhost which is bigger and looks more active as well.
Even though both moderators of that were last active 3 months ago.
Should I request that community as well?
I wonder what would be the process of merging two un-moderated practically-the-same communities.
ok, i made you a mod of both.
imo it would make sense to lock !selfhosted@lemmy.ml (restrict posting to mods) and leave a pinned post there pointing to !selfhost@lemmy.ml saying to use that instead (since it is the larger of the two).
cc existing mods @dogmuffins@lemmy.ml @Zoe8338@lemmy.ml (both inacive 3 months currently)
When I created the sublemmy I was unemployed, but now I have a full time job and is hard to moderate too while I work. I don't know how to find more mods for this that would be able to mod but have less access to the sublemmy settings than me. Could you help out?
As of 2 months ago, @testman@lemmy.ml is a mod of /c/selfhost@lemmy.ml along with you. They have the same access to the settings as you do, except for that they cannot remove you (since they didn't add you).
hey @testman i see you didn't take my advice above with regards to /c/selfhosted@lemmy.ml - so, i just now created this pinned post there saying to use /c/selfhost@lemmy.ml instead. Do you think you could edit the selfhosted community settings to make it read-only (aka mod-only) to get people to post in selfhost instead? Thanks!
Who’s testman btw?
lol, i have no idea except they're someone who mods a lot of communities and seemed ok when i skimmed their profile a while ago so i gave them some more when they asked here 😅
Haha that's fair. We know they're trustworthy then in that case, which is a good thing!
