Been moving from Reddit to Lemmy slowly so far and now I wanted to bring some of the communities I moderated there to here, as a huge car enthusiast I wanted to not only bring car related subs to communities here on lemmy.world, I also wanted to mod the “cars” community from the instance on lemmy.world already but I realized the moderator there has been inactive for several months now.
It looks like that community is a lost case and this is concerning, how many more communities are stuck like this? This should have been really affecting Lemmy badly thus far and it seems many power mods came in and claimed multiple community names when the blackout happened without actually committing to the platform.
I really hope the developers find a solution to this, so that those like me who actually wants to commit and moderate can do so.
Important to add: Don’t force them to switch. Give them the chance to set up here and they will eventually realize this place is better. Or maybe they won’t but in that case you gave them their agency and they chose they’d rather be with the nazi shithole website so no loss for us.
