I added you as a mod. The existing mod has no activity for over a year. Note that, since your account is on a different insurance than the community, you will not receive community reports. It’s a known bug in Lemmy. I recommend making a lemmy.world alt and adding it to the community mod team, then checking it occasionally for reports.

I left the original mod in place in case they come back. I noticed Tolstoy said they would be contacting the old mod.

@Lukjam@lemmy.world, mentioning you here for transparency in case you come back to Lemmy and wonder what happened.

That’s bizarre. I have not experienced that with the stock lemmy-ui in Firefox, nor in the Summit app on Android. You have only seen it in Jerboa, correct?

Done.

The mod (@comcreator@lemmy.world) does look inactive.

Is there another community you think users should be directed to?

In this case the mod is an active Lemmy user. They have posts and comments within the past day. It should be up to them to decide if they want to leave their community open, or lock their community and direct users elsewhere.

@ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world mentioning you here since it’s your community being discussed.

This has been happening to me and others as well, across multiple Lemmy instances. The common thread seems to be Firefox. I assume something changed in a recent Firefox update?

If anyone figures out the root cause, I would love to hear about it.

I passed your request on to the lemmy.world community team.

Note that !bangladesh@lemmy.ml already exists and is active. Though there is no harm in having another community on lemmy.world.

If your goal is to keep communication open during another government shutdown of the internet, then perhaps you should try to host an instance locally in Bangladesh? Lemmy.world is hosted in Europe, so if you lose connection to the outside world then a community on this instance would be inaccessible.

The main culprit, @marcus_inferno@lemmy.world, has been banned.

!climatechange@lemmy.world is now yours. Since you also moderate !climate@lemmy.world I’ll leave you to lock it if you like.

!climate@lemmy.world was just resurrected a few days ago, so now we have two redundant climate communities on this instance. Would it make more sense to lock one of these communities and direct people to the other?

If you really want both communities open, then I can give you the mod role for !climatechange@lemmy.world. The current mod definitely appears to have left Lemmy.

Of the three community mods, it looks like xohshoo is still active on Lemmy every couple of weeks. Have you tried messaging them directly? If not, that should be the first step before we consider taking their community and handing it to you or someone else.

Taken care of now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Removed.

You can PM one of us admins about it via Lemmy or Matrix.

If it’s an active community then we’ll pass it on to the rest of the team to see if a new mod can be found. As I type this, my lemmy.world reports dashboard shows 363 open user reports. We need attentive mods in our active communities to handle those; the admin team can’t possibly keep up on our own.

If it’s an inactive community then we will probably just leave it alone. The incremental cost of having one more inactive community on the instance is negligible. On the other hand, intervening has the potential to create trouble if the mod eventually logs in and sees that their community has been changed/locked/removed while they were away.

I assigned you as the moderator to !popculture@lemmy.world

Assigning/removing mods is a manual process handled on a case-by-case basis. There is no official policy about removing banned users from their mod roles, though that doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Communities with no mods (or absent/inattentive mods) keep humming along until something brings them to the admin team’s attention. There are hundreds of communities like that on this instance. Lemmy.world does have a Community Team who try to find and address communities that need moderation help. It’s a big task, though.

I added you as a community mod.

@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back to Lemmy.

I added you as a mod.

@Photographer@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back.

I made you the mod. The prior mod (@AAjax@lemmy.world) has been inactive for months.

As the other user mentioned, I suggest using a lemmy.world account for moderating lemmy.world communities. When using an account on a remote instance you do not receive the reports from that community.

I discussed it with the community team, and we decided to give you the mod role. !genealogy@lemmy.world is yours now!
