I am excited about the idea of Lemmy growing and having more and more active users.
In my case, the most visited subreddit was r/chess, and I have tried to promote the use of https://lemmy.world/c/chess@lemmy.ml
This is the lemmy chess community with the most subscribers, however I saw that it has no active moderator, the previous one corresponds to a deleted account. I see that this can be a significant obstacle to adoption, what can be done in these cases?
Instance admins can promote users to be moderators. Such is the case with lemmy.ml, where we have !community_requests@lemmy.ml. Future questions should be at !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
You can ask the Lemmy.ml admins to assign a new mod
You’d have to ask an admin of the instance (in this case, lemmy.ml) to transfer ownership to you by appointing you as a moderator in that community.
