I wish to stop being a moderator in lemmy.ml. However, I don’t know what to do with this community; the last time I asked for new mods nobody showed interest. So I’d like the help of other members of the community to decide it.

Here are a few options:

  • Migrate this community. Frankly I don’t care about Reddit nowadays, but I’m still willing to mod a comm about it in another instance. So if users tell me “migrate SNOOcalypse to [instance]!”, I’ll seriously consider it.
  • Recruiting new mods. If you wish to be a mod, please tell me so in this thread. I’ll check if you’d be a good mod, recruit you, step down myself, and you’re free to moderate it as you wish.
  • Closing down this comm. There are a few other comms about Reddit across the Lemmy/Kbinverse, so we’d use those instead. If neither of the alternatives above is viable/feasible, this is likely what’s going to happen.
  • Something else. Then please do tell me. As long as it doesn’t boil down to “negligently leave this comm active but unmoderated”, I’ll consider it.

I’m planning to step down 19/February/2024.

So, what do you think that should be done?

    I’d go with option three. There are plenty comms to discuss Reddit around.

    Don’t delete it, but maybe disable posting. If someone wants to pick the comm back up, they can go bother the admins about getting appointed as a new mod.

      If I close down this comm, I’ll do it as you said - disable posting, but keep the content here. One of the roles of this comm was to document the downfall of Reddit, so it doesn’t make sense to delete it.
