Unmoderated Communities
If a moderator is not active or banned, you can request to be a mod for that community. Just check community rules before posting.

I decided not to remove the old mod. What do you think about it? I believe I shouldn't do this, but I would still like to hear your opinion. Is it unfair to remove that mod if inactive for a week?
Also; @[email protected] is banned and s/he has so many communities. I can appoint if there are some volunteers.
note: bottomless and lesbians communities are reserved for now.
One of the biggest issues that happened on Reddit was various folks trying to build fiefdoms and squatting on community/subreddit names without any real interest(s) in building up and nurturing the comms.
Glad you/admins here seem to be aware of this potential issue and are taking active action.
I’m trying to escape from responsibility as much as I can lol :) But that’s good point too.
We are currently on a whole new platform and people want to contribute to it. I don't want to discourage anyone as much as possible.
Totally understand the need for flexibilty while building this platform up. It took a group of us mods on Reddit over 2+ years to finally get admins to pay some attention to these squatters (one guy had over 1000+ subreddits at one point, and was using an automated script to create subs every 5 minutes... as well as alt accounts that do the same...
I’m afraid of that too. But we are not on Reddit scale and only NSFW oriented. So I think we can handle these kind of spams hopefully.
Commenting in here to help where I can. I was going to create these communities if they weren't anyway, so you can mod me on:
So far modding hasn't been too difficult because the post count is low. If I find it becomes difficult, I'll appoint new mods to these communities.
Edit: I also wanted to add a thank you for posting this. I asked about this specific situation and didn't get a response. Thanks. :)
Ok, I’ll transfer soon. Thanks for volunteering.
Looks like you should create a post/comment on those communities to be appointed. Can you do it?
Done!
all transfered except femdom
Ah, how come? I've commented here: https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/119059
Okay all of these communities have images and rules now.
Can mods be reinstated? If so, I think a week is a good time to remove a mod, if they come back then they can rejoin as mods. If not I'd wait at least a month to remove inactive mods, but still would appoint new mods to keep the community under control.
I'd happily take [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
Can you post/comment on those communities?
Done
Transfered upskirt. But others still have an admin. You can ask him for it.
That user hasn't logged in in 9 days. Thought this post was actually prompted by the discussion about that
Looks like not inactive
I created a community but then deleted it. I've been unable to remake it since.
I may help you with that. Which community is it?
It was ebonygirls I ended up recreating it as ebony_girls.
It's better IMO. Also the original community is still there.
Oh that interesting. I didn't see it in the search but does work with direct address.
Can you select both Undetermined and English on your user settings? It probably this stupid problem again.
I think I had both selected already. And while I can see the original community with direct address browser address bar it does say "deleted by creator". Although I think it gives me the option to restore if I'm signed in. Since I'm already doing the new one I don't want to have yet another abandoned community on here.
I can purge one of them if you want?
I can mod teens if needed
On lemmy.world, sending an email to [email protected] creates a ticket.
Then there is also a community to request take over a community: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Ok this one makes sense. Done! https://lemmynsfw.com/c/community_requests
done
Is there a way to request communities to be created/moderated? There’s a few I’d like to see lol, but I don’t want to moderate, or squat.
