This community is modless? (lemmy.world)

Is that right? According to my sidebar we don't and I think we need to fix that if we want to make this community grow. We might be able to contact the instance admin and have some people installed, but how do we do this fairly? Election via upvote, and we send the URL to the admins with the request maybe? Lets talk about this since this is our community after all.

I'm doing some reading up as there is no moderation queue for moderators - only the OWNER can see what has been reported, and that's Kitty at the moment. What I can do as a moderator is if I am reading posts/threads and find something reported, I can see that it has been reported and take action. But that's the only way I'll find it.

I'll talk to Kitty to see if they want to transfer ownership to me so I have a mod queue. I'm terminally online (I have something like 4000 mod actions a month on Reddit) and knowing I can actually get reports will remind me to check a few times a day. From there I can add other mods but they'll be restricted to the stumbling method (or, can outright remove things they find on their own), but can also pin and if they want to do something fun with the instance beyond general conversation, we can get that going.

We've been lucky in that so far I've found two things that warranted removal.

Yes this wasn't a dig at anyone or anything of the like. I was literally watching Dynamite and on the thread and it dawned on me that we don't seem to have any but that everything was running just fine without. I just really disliked the thought that someone could completely hijack this and ruin it forcing us to pack up once again.

Thank you for your responses, we are all learning how all this newer platform works together as it evolves and grows.

Just wanted to say thanks for getting the ball rolling on this. If this place grows and thrives, you deserve a lot of credit for reaching out and getting our mods back.

Thanks! That means a lot from someone who has been pumping out discussion threads for every show! That's been huge IMHO to just make it feel more active and "like home".
