Do we have a mechanism to deal with absent mods yet?

theinspectorst@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 1 points –

Title is hopefully self-explanatory. During the early growth, there were a number of examples of users setting up magazines based on popular Reddit subs but then losing their initial enthusiasm for kbin.

I'm an active user of one such sub, which has taken off in the last few weeks after a slow start, but where the only mod hasn't been seen in over a month. How do we either replace them or get additional mods added, when there's no way to get in contact with them in the first place?

Hey, this mechanism is already finished. The problem is that I planned the next update after the release of the first /kbin tagged version. There's still about a week left for that because there are really a lot of changes that I'm still testing. I'll try to speed up this process and quickly create some external procedure.

Hi @ernest!

First off, thank you for all your hard work! Kbin is awesome.

Secondly, thank you! I cannot speak for other abandoned and neglected magazines, but we really appreciate your help. @theinspectorst and myself have been working hard to find our moderator to no avail.

@ernest - sorry I know you're super busy but any possibility you can help us with this?

The magazine is m/Neoliberal - me and @CoffeeAddict have been the most active contributors but the only mod, @Crawfish, has vanished - we've tried contacting them in recent weeks but to no avail. Do you think you could add the two of us as co-mods until we can work out where @Crawfish is?

The magazine feels like it's just starting to take off, with a growing number of subscribers and now with multiple people posting new links each day - I'd hate it for its growth to be stunted by the lack of an active moderator who can look after the magazine.

Yeah I have tried multiple different handles this time. I see he started a few magazines/communities for Neoliberal across some different instances. So far I have heard nothing lol.
