The title is self-explanatory. If nobody volunteers by 22 February (that’s 2 weeks from now) then this community will be locked, and there will be a pinned post directing users to [email protected].

It would be unfortunate to close this community. It is the most popular one on our instance (3.48k subscribers and >300 weekly users). But the sh.itjust.works admins don’t have time to properly moderate it in addition to our other commitments.

Edit: Due to the report federation bug in Lemmy (GitHub issue #3791) it is highly recommended that you use a sh.itjust.works account for the moderator role.

Edit 2: We have a new mod!

    I’d be willing to try moderating if you’re willing to give me a shot.

    I don’t have any experience being a mod but I do work in a high-level position for a semi-national corporation. De-escalating people, finding solutions to sometimes complex issues and working together on a smallish team, is a few of the many things I do day to day. I can go more in depth, in private, if you want to know more.

      I’m okay with letting you try your hand at moderating. However, I forgot about the report federation bug in Lemmy (I added an edit to the post just now). You should create a sh.itjust.works account to moderate communities here or you will not be able to receive user reports. Using you kbin account would basically be flying blind.
