This is a follow-up to a prior post regarding un-moderated communities on our instance.
Of the 14 communities identified in the prior post, half have been adopted by new mods. Thanks to everyone who stepped up to volunteer! The remaining un-moderated communities fall into two categories:
Empty communities
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Communities containing posts
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
The empty communities will be purged (deleted from the server). If anyone wants to recreate the communities in the future then they are free to do so.
The communities with content will be kept. They will be moderated by one of the admins until someone (hopefully) volunteers to take them over.
The next step is to identify communities that have absentee mods. During the Reddit exodus many new users joined Lemmy, created communities, and then apparently turned their attention elsewhere. I have started reaching out to mod accounts that have been inactive for several months. Once it is clear which communities need new mods, we will ask for volunteers.
The end goal of all this work is to have active users moderating each community. It increases the chances that spam, abuse, or inappropriate content will be addressed quickly.
That is all for now. Have a good day!
