As in, take over communities from inactive moderators? c/football’s sole moderator has not posted or commented in days, and several communities from Reddit are completely blank and owned by a certain “@AutoModerator” account which has never posted or commented. I was wondering, is that a possibility on Lemmy?
Yes. on lemmy.ml they have https://lemmy.ml/c/community_requests which you can access through lemmy.world by going to https://lemmy.world/c/community_requests@lemmy.ml
That is only for communities on the lemmy.ml instance. Their moderators have no control over the communities on lemmy.world.
