- Comment on Requesting /fantheories 3 weeks ago:
Done. You are now the mod of !fantheories@lemmy.world. Sorry for the slow response.
@FizzlePopBerryTwist@lemmy.world I’m mentioning you here for transparency. You don’t have any visible Lemmy activity for months, so I assume you are inactive.
- Comment on Requesting /c/ipod 5 weeks ago:
I gave you the mod role in !ipod@lemmy.world. Enjoy! :-)
- Comment on Requesting /c/ipod 5 weeks ago:
Do you have a plan for what you will do with the community? Not to be rude, but you already mod over 50 communities and many of them are inactive or empty. We’re a bit hesitant to consolidate large numbers of communities under a single user.
- Comment on Why is my post hidden from lemmy.world instance? 1 month ago:
That’s odd. It seems like your post didn’t federate from feddit.org to lemmy.world for some reason. There does not appear to be significant federation lag between the two instances at the moment.
It’s visible now. I pasted the feddit.org URL into the search bar on lemmy.world, which forces lemmy.world to fetch the post.
Your original post from feddit.org: feddit.org/post/4049097
Now visible on lemmy.world: lemmy.world/post/21190240 - Comment on How can I unmod a user? 2 months ago:
Try using the Photon front end. For adding and removing mods, it is more flexible than the standard lemmy-ui front end.
- Comment on Fallout New Vegas Community 3 months ago:
I added you as a mod. The existing mod has no activity for over a year. Note that, since your account is on a different insurance than the community, you will not receive community reports. It’s a known bug in Lemmy. I recommend making a lemmy.world alt and adding it to the community mod team, then checking it occasionally for reports.
I left the original mod in place in case they come back. I noticed Tolstoy said they would be contacting the old mod.
@Lukjam@lemmy.world, mentioning you here for transparency in case you come back to Lemmy and won’t what happened.
- Comment on Top level comments sometimes end up as a reply to another random comment 3 months ago:
That’s bizarre. I have not experienced that with the stock lemmy-ui in Firefox, nor in the Summit app on Android. You have only seen it in Jerboa, correct?
- Comment on [Abandoned community] lemmyinstances@lemmy.world 3 months ago:
Done.
- Comment on Please allow VPNs 3 months ago:
Yes, that is a problem. No single solution is perfect, and VPN blocks are only one tool in the toolbox. Every instance is different, and admins pick the tools that they think will work best for their situation. VPN blocking happens to be a tool that seems to have worked well for lemmy.world.
Instances that lack moderation and have a history of being used by trolls tend to get the nuclear option: they are defederated by the big Lemmy instances. That’s not ideal at all, but the tool set for Lemmy moderation is very limited right now.
- Comment on Please allow VPNs 3 months ago:
Short answer: no.
I don’t mean to be rude. The desire to use VPNs is completely understandable. Unfortunately, VPNs were being abused in ways that were detrimental to the community here. Last year there were several waves of really grotesque troll posts (CSAM, scat porn, etc.) on lemmy.world and other instances. Blocking VPNs was one of the responses that was effective in stopping those posts. The admin team has no interest in backtracking at this time.
You have moderation here
We have unpaid volunteers donating their spare time. Nobody wants to spend their lunch break purging CSAM posts from some troll. And no users want a post to stay up for hours because the mods were asleep, at work, or otherwise not watching the Lemmy feed. (That actually happened, and is what drove me to donate some of my time here.) If law enforcement ever does come knocking, this instance doesn’t have the money or time to mount a defense.
I wish things were different. This is the unfortunate reality that this particular instance has faced. Other instances may feel differently.
- Comment on [Abandoned community] lemmyinstances@lemmy.world 3 months ago:
The mod (@comcreator@lemmy.world does look inactive.
Is there another community you think users should be directed to?
- Comment on [Abandoned community] Asking for !nextfuckinglevel@lemmy.world to be closed 3 months ago:
In this case the mod is an active Lemmy user. They have posts and comments within the past day. It should be up to them to decide if they want to leave their community open, or lock their community and direct users elsewhere.
@ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world mentioning you here since it’s your community being discussed.
- Comment on Constantly getting logged out 4 months ago:
This has been happening to me and others as well, across multiple Lemmy instances. The common thread seems to be Firefox. I assume something changed in a recent Firefox update?
If anyone figures out the root cause, I would love to hear about it.
- Comment on Didn't save the message but want to say thank you for the person who told me about bot accounts. I cleared up my list because of you and much love to you ....no sarcasm. 4 months ago:
For the curious, here’s the thread OP is referring to: https://lemmy.world/post/18504118
Looks for the comments by MrKaplan.
- Comment on May have asked this before if I have just ignore but how can lemmy's appeal a ban from a certain community? 4 months ago:
For each community that banned you, you need to send a message to one of the mods in that community. The modlog shows that you are currently banned from !asklemmy@lemmy.ml and !asklemmy@lemmy.world. Go to each of those communities, look in the community’s sidebar, and you will see the names of the community mods. Click on one of the mods’ names, hit the Send Message button in their profile, and say your piece. It’s up to them to decide if they want to unban you.
- Comment on How come it shows now I have 8 messages and 0 PM's but when I click to check my messages it is just the two I am saving? 4 months ago:
Hmmm. I’m short of ideas. Are one of these filters selected?
- Comment on How come it shows now I have 8 messages and 0 PM's but when I click to check my messages it is just the two I am saving? 4 months ago:
Are you using an app, or a browser? I’m wondering if you have some open reports from the communities you moderate. Apps generally don’t handle reports well, and some mix them in with private messages.

- Comment on Can I take over askhistorians? 4 months ago:
I’m hesitant to take a community from an existing moderator and hand it to a new user who has only been on Lemmy for a few days. I suggest you start by interacting for a while - make posts, try to drive discussions, get a feel for this place and how it works - before jumping into moderating multiple communities.
- Comment on Requesting c/Bangladesh, it has no mods currently 4 months ago:
I passed your request on to the lemmy.world community team.
Note that !bangladesh@lemmy.ml already exists and is active. Though there is no harm in having another community on lemmy.world.
If your goal is to keep communication open during another government shutdown of the internet, then perhaps you should try to host an instance locally in Bangladesh? Lemmy.world is hosted in Europe, so if you lose connection to the outside world then a community on this instance would be inaccessible.
- Comment on pages.dev spamming 4 months ago:
The main culprit, @marcus_inferno@lemmy.world has been banned.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
!climatechange@lemmy.world is now yours. Since you also moderate !climate@lemmy.world I’ll leave you to lock it if you like.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
!climate@lemmy.world was just resurrected a few days ago, so now we have two redundant climate communities on this instance. Would it make more sense to lock one of these communities and direct people to the other?
If you really want both communities open, then I can give you the mod role for !climatechange@lemmy.world. The current mod definitely appears to have left Lemmy.
- Comment on Request to mod procycling@lemmy.world 5 months ago:
Of the three community mods, it looks like xohshoo is still active on Lemmy every couple of weeks. Have you tried messaging them directly? If not, that should be the first step before we consider taking their community and handing it to you or someone else.
- Comment on Potential spam communities 5 months ago:
Taken care of now. Thanks for the heads-up.
- Comment on Potential spam communities 5 months ago:
Removed.
- Comment on Requesting popculture community 6 months ago:
You can PM one of us admins about it via Lemmy or Matrix.
If it’s an active community then we’ll pass it on to the rest of the team to see if a new mod can be found. As I type this, my lemmy.world reports dashboard shows 363 open user reports. We need attentive mods in our active communities to handle those; the admin team can’t possibly keep up on our own.
If it’s an inactive community then we will probably just leave it alone. The incremental cost of having one more inactive community on the instance is negligible. On the other hand, intervening has the potential to create trouble if the mod eventually logs in and sees that their community has been changed/locked/removed while they were away.
- Comment on Requesting popculture community 6 months ago:
I assigned you as the moderator to !popculture@lemmy.world
Assigning/removing mods is a manual process handled on a case-by-case basis. There is no official policy about removing banned users from their mod roles, though that doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Communities with no mods (or absent/inattentive mods) keep humming along until something brings them to the admin team’s attention. There are hundreds of communities like that on this instance. Lemmy.world does have a Community Team who try to find and address communities that need moderation help. It’s a big task, though.
- Comment on Do we have a setting to block posts that contain keywords yet? 7 months ago:
Nope. It’s still an open request: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3710
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I added you as a community mod.
@ComradeMiao@lemmy.world mentioning you here so you’ll know what happened if/when you come back to Lemmy.
