/u/porn was active here briefly, make a load of communitiess like /c/Boobs and has since not been on, leaving those communities unmoderated. I’ve messaged them about being added to some of them (like they offered), but no reply.
I think the larger communities, at least, should have more than one moderator to cover different timezones, being unavailable or disappearing. I assume that admins can add moderators to comms, right?
Yes, the admins of this instance can add new mods but I think they should create a community for community requests to make it a clear straightforward process.
I also like the idea that the process is out in the open.
