Wait, you mean the mod or the admin? The term “Admin” is used for system administrators of an instance. e.g. lemmy.world Admins are not necessarily mods of any communities, they own, upkeep, and administer the server. Mods are Moderators of a community and not often/necessarily Admins of the instance.
If Admin has disappeared/is inactive for too long the instance wont likely stay up long. If the said community is on your instance (so lemmy.world), the admins of lemmy.world are definitely active. They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.
Edit: don’t worry, you are not disrespecting me in any way. Better to ask your questions and ask for clarification. I know fediverse is confusing and that’s why I’m more than happy to help so please, don’t worry.
Edit2: to clarify just incase: “Instance” is a lemmy server, so lemmy.world is an instance and happens to be your instance. My instance is “sopuli.xyz”.
They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.
To add to this, if OP doesn’t actually want to become moderator of the community themselves, there are still other options - the instance admins can transfer the community moderation to a third person (I seem to remember there was even a dedicated community for finding new mods to take over dead communities), or they could potentially find a similar community on another instance.
Now, if you can tell the community name we can help you more.
Or if you prefer not to say then you need to figure out the community’s instance it is on, so the server name that comes after the AT sign examplecommunity@instance.name and contact the Admins of that instance.
If the community is in your instance (so lemmy.world) it’s tad bit easier: go to !support@lemmy.world and make a post about volunteering to take over a community.
Good luck and don’t hesitate to msg me or ask me here for help!
The community is !residentevil@lemmy.world. The only mod or admin hasn’t been active for almost 2 years. I quite like lemmy and I plan on sticking around. I think I could resurect the dead community. I may contact support and volunteer. Thank you!
That plan sounds good and it should be absolutely no problem to transfer the moderation to you since it is on your instance and the mod has been inactive that long! Indeed go to the support community I mentioned and earlier and ask :)
No problem at all and good luck! Glad to have you in lemmy :)

In that case, it’s the mod who is inactive. I misunderstood.
No worries! it’s confusing, I know.

PS. If you take over the community and want it to grow, here are some communities to get help with growing it: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !fedigrow@lemm.ee
The request has been made. Thank you again! Long live Lemmy!
Awwsome! No problem at all. Long live Lemmy indeed!!
