Community Revival

110 readers
4 users here now

This community is for discussion of dead communities and the planning of reviving them.

What should a post/comment look like?

A post ideally would be mentioning that community, what value it could contribute to the fediverse, how much dedication it would take and approximately how many mods there should be, and a call for volunteers.

A comment should be a suggestion, correction or volunteering.

What is a dead community?

A community which all mods are inactive for more than 3 months, and the modlog has had no activity for the same time.

Please ping all the admins in the comments too, this is necessary.

Rules

The rules are very simple.

  1. All posts must be about a dead community. Meta posts should be marked [META]
  2. Be nice.

... i will work on the icon/banner later ;)

Crosspost - Transferring ownership of UpliftingNews.world (lemmy.world)

So not sure the process on transferring communities across Lemmy but since some unforseen issues mean I can't mod as much, I'm looking to transfer ownership. If anyone knows the steps or is willing to get things going then message me and lemme know.

I'm also willing to do that with all the ones I got but UpliftingNews is the biggest one and I don't know how many I can send at once.

I would start with posting in that community that you are looking for a mod or mods. You can then elevate someone who posts in the thread to moderator. You may need to use the web interface, as not all apps have mod tools.

I'd been doing that first and it was recommended to check here alongside it. I'm also on the web interface; no mobile, though if a different webUI has more tools then I'm unsure of it.
