Hello everyone. We are seeking volunteers to take over a number of abandoned communities. If you are interested in becoming a moderator of any of the communities listed below, please look for the “Moderator Needed” post in the community and add a comment. You will be responsible for monitoring the community, dealing with any objectionable posts and comments, and hopefully building it up as a lively space for your fellow Lemmy users.

You can moderate using an account from another instance. However, due to a bug in Lemmy you will not receive user reports from the community. To make your life easier you should consider using a sh.itjust.works account for moderating sh.itjust.works communities, at least until that bug is fixed.

If any of these communities remain abandoned then we will eventually remove them.

Un-moderated communities:

    The main thing here is we’d rather have at least one mod for every community.

    To expand on that: kbin’s recent struggle with spam provides an example of what can happen when there are too few moderators. Many kbin communities have no moderators aside from the site admin, who already has too much other stuff to do. Spreading the work among many people means that objectionable content is addressed more quickly. In my opinion, that’s the big reason to either find mods or remove un-moderated communities.

    As an aside, I hear that Ernest is actively working on addressing kbin’s immediate issues, which is wonderful news.
