Magazine unmoderated

Is there any way to request becoming a mod for a magazine where the creator made it and then has gone dark? I have tried to reach out to them but they aren't responding and have no acitivity

  • would be a good idea to make a tag or an alert featured on the magazine if it appears no mod has logged in in over X days, with a link to apply to become one. Not sure who would approve that takeover tho... but a tag alone would be a warning to users that it was functionally unmoderated.

    • I placed an issue for it in codeberg, but right now it's by PM to Ernest.
      I like the idea of a tag though. Would help the team decide if it's time to hand it over.

  • How long has it been?

    • They made the sub 1 week ago. I messaged them 5 days ago. I'd be happy to give it longer. I know a week isn't long. They just have no activity in the fediverse at all

      • Things are slow enough on most c/ommunities that five days isn't much tbh.

        You can try contacting admins to see what can be done, but it likely won't amount to much that quick.

  • Could just create the mag in another instance like fedia.io or kbin.lol and post in the other mag to let folks know

    • You are right, i could do that, but if like to keep the activity in kbin.social if possible. It might be different if I wanted to run it different but I just want it moderated

      • Probably kbin is new enough that @ernest hasn’t had to come up with rules about this yet. But maybe add a feature request on kbin’s bug tracker to request abandoned magazines?
