Hi all,

I'm an admin on lemmy.blahaj.zone, /196's home instance. I'm not a member of /196, and I'm not familiar with its history. However, I'm seeing a LOT of reports coming through that aren't being actioned by community mods.

It looks like the original mod has deleted their account, and the remaining mod hasn't been active since their initial post 2 days ago.

What I'm hoping to see is that @threegnomes logs back in, appoints some mods and gets things under control.

But should that not happen, I'm going to need to step in and appoint some mods myself

Either way, if you're interested in being a mod, please reply below. I (and hopefully @threegnomes) will look at everyone that gets lots of community support (via upvotes or replies) and put some more mods in.

Lots of upvotes doesn't mean you automatically get the job. I reserve the right to veto candidates that I think are going to create more work rather than reduce it.

I just sent a new report through for your post saying "test report". That should appear soon in the shield icon notifications at the top of the page

I didn't get it. I also don't see 196 in my mod list on my profile. Are you sure you added me?

If you want to make an account in Blahaj lemmy until we get the moderation federation sorted out, you're welcome to do so

Hello this is my new alt for the time being

[-] moss@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Confirming this is me

[-] moss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh awesome if this doesn't magically fix itself in the next 10 minutes I'll fill out the application.

You're showing as a mod on my end. I wonder if it's a version issue? We haven't upgraded to 17.3 or 17.4 yet.

[-] moss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe?? I'm only showing up as a mod on the homepage of 196 on the blahaj.lemmy instance. Everywhere else, I don't show up as a mod

I'll poke @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone and see if we can upgrade to the lemmy RC sometime this weekend, and hopefully that will resolve it.

Done!

[-] moss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Lol thank you. 😅😅😅 Sorry to have turned out to be much more of a headache than I intended

[-] ada 1 points 2 years ago

Not your fault! There's something weird going on there on our end.

[-] moss@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Appreciate it.
