Consolidating space communities? (sh.itjust.works)

We currently have quite a few:

[email protected] (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
[email protected] (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
[email protected] (active poster, inactive moderator)
[email protected] (low activity, unmoderated)
[email protected] (no active posters or moderators)

Dead instances

Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?

I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.

I agree with you, that seems like the most suitable instance for this topic, in my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.

Awesome. @[email protected], would you be able to add Bitswap and Otter to the moderator list of [email protected]?

@[email protected] and @[email protected], it might help Bee if you each make a post or leave a comment on [email protected].

Here's a local link to Otter's comment: https://mander.xyz/post/28079448/18405909

Are you able to appoint them as a moderator?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I appointed him as a moderator now.

How to add mods to the community? 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Open the drop-down menu on someone's post or comment. One of the options should be "Appoint as moderator".

Example

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

@[email protected] can you comment on any of the community posts so I can appoint you as a moderator?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Done. https://lemmy.world/post/28335991

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I appointed you as a moderator.👍🏻

Would you be willing/interested to take on a moderator role for that community? It would be useful to have at least one moderator with a local account.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I am interested in being moderator for that community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Thank you! Feel free to promote the community to [email protected] to make people aware there are new mods

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Awesome, thank you! I have added you as a moderator.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's great to hear!

@[email protected], please add Bee to the moderator list of [email protected] at your earliest convenience.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Great, added. Thank you!
