I recently spoke to the current community moderator, @[email protected]. They have moved to a different account on another instance and are no longer active here. Would anyone like to take over as the new community mod? If so, please leave a comment in this post!
Appreciate you considering it! There’s definitely a lot of issues with 0.19, it took me about three tries to open this post today because lemm.ee has been struggling. But pretty much every big update has been the same so if it follows the pattern, in a few days they’ll sort out the urgent performance issues and we can all get back to normal 🤞
Apparently me even voicing the tentative willingness to be the emergency backup plan was enough and I am now mod, so I’ll give it a few days and see if anyone else fancies it but given my experience with the knitting community I can confirm that it’s not any actual work being mod of places like this, it’s just having someone there on the off-chance something kicks off.
Alright, I switched to voyager and everything resolved. It seems to work fine now after they rolled out a bunch of updates. It needs some getting used to but I wasn’t happy with jerboa anyway. It was less of a lemm.ee issue and more of devs not updating their fdroid release on time.
I decided to volunteer as a mod. I’ve never been one but I imagine it’s not a full time job modding a community like this like you said. My timezone is UTC+2 (Helsinki, Kiyv, Riga, Sofia, Talinn, Vilnius).
Yay! Thank you! ❤ I think unless we decided to actively try and do something with the community that requires work, it’s really once in a blue moon mods are needed here. The original owner was missing for like 5 months and we were just fine, after all! But it’s good to know someone else is around if one of us is on holiday or sick or whatever, we don’t have to worry.
When I took over knitting we talked about what rules and whatnot made sense there, most of that will probably apply here too (especially since it’s a lot of the same people in both!) but I’ll handle putting that to the community over the next few days because right now I have a stonking headache.
Ah I totally did an irl happy clap when I read your decision, haha 😄
Thank you! I added the little “M” next to your name.
