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 agree with you on pretty much everything, but I think creating a new magazine/sub/whatever should be at the bottom of our list of options.
In my opinion, the best thing to do is get the mods back or find new ones and then do an m/SC grand re-opening of sorts. Then, we all boost a new welcome message so the nearly 800 users subbed here see it in their timeline and hopefully make their way over here.
Also, shout out to you for getting in touch with the mods. Love the initiative lol.
