Mod has abandoned community. What now?
lemmy.world
What can be done now that this community's creator and mod has deleted their account?
Can you make me a mod?
Does that deleted account still have mod permissions if they re-register?
How does this work?
I can appoint a new mod. Interested?
Yes
Congratulations! 🎉
You're the mod now, dawg.
Alright
Maybe the instance admin, @ruud could help?
I know it's not what you specifically asked for, but my guess is that the original mod saw that /c/hockey@lemmy.ca was getting more traction and decided to bail out.
The funny thing is that https://lemmy.world/c/hockey has more subscribers, but I was the only person to add content.
@ruud@lemmy.world Are there any answers to this?
I bet you have to message the admin(s) of the instance and get them to make you a mod. That is just a guess tho. No clue about the rest...
Yes, instance admins can appoint new mods.
