I'm wondering if the fediverse in general (but especially Lemmy) would benefit from some kind of "fediverse help wanted" board for moderators, donations, technical help, etc.
edit: People who run a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed/etc instance might be hanging out in the Matrix chat room for the software they are running; that might already serve this purpose.
Thank you for offering, some communities might ask you for help!
Personally I tend to try to find active members who are known to be positive in the community before reaching out to them and offering them a mod position. It's easier for them to mod if they're already invested in the community.
I suppose that's the best way indeed. But I thought it wouldn't hurt, in cases where no one could be found, for people who are slowly burning out to know that others may be available for helping, even for a small time, while they recover !
What are your favourite communities here? Are you an active member? If the mod team seems small or inactive maybe try messaging and asking?
I think lemm.ee is shutting down for lack of mods, if I saw correctly? Maybe you could help there and prevent that.
It's unfortunately too late. It is their final decision.
Damn, that's a shame.
admins actually, they said alot of them burned out and left lemme and they cant find enough.
Lemm.ee is shutting down from lack of admins, apparently.
Yes. Ask.
