Our instance has been around for a while now and had its ups and downs. As a result there are some communities for which the original creators and mods are not active participants anymore.
This is especially true for those moderated solely by @ex_06 who originally started this site but handed it over to me about six months ago due to changed life priorities.
There are also a lot of communities only moderated by me, and as the current sole site admin I would like to distribute the moderation efforts a bit more.
It is not strictly necessary to have an account on slrpnk.net to become a community moderator, as Lemmy supports federated moderation. Thus if you are joining us from an remote instance feel free to apply as well.
So if any of those communities are especially interesting to you, please make a short introduction post in them and I can transfer moderation rights to you. Thanks!
If !fixing is about repairing stuff/the right to repair stuff, (or, from the one post, the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals and how to mix them?) I’m happy to take that, and if you’d like help with !diy, I can join. I’ll make the intro posts there as well.
You can turn !fixing into that if you like. Just mention it in the sidebar text.
I can only make you a mod in communities you have posted something (a comment is sufficient).
Thanks for offering to help out, much appreciated!
