Been moving from Reddit to Lemmy slowly so far and now I wanted to bring some of the communities I moderated there to here, as a huge car enthusiast I wanted to not only bring car related subs to communities here on lemmy.world, I also wanted to mod the "cars" community from the instance on lemmy.world already but I realized the moderator there has been inactive for several months now.

It looks like that community is a lost case and this is concerning, how many more communities are stuck like this? This should have been really affecting Lemmy badly thus far and it seems many power mods came in and claimed multiple community names when the blackout happened without actually committing to the platform.

I really hope the developers find a solution to this, so that those like me who actually wants to commit and moderate can do so.

I believe you can reach out to the admin(s) of the particular instance and ask them to let you mod an abandoned community.

Yes. It looks like !support@lemmy.world is the community to post a mod request on. From the sidebar of that community:

  • There is a community I want to moderate, but the moderators appear to be inactive.

Please email us at info@lemmy.world or create a post in this community.

I would post and then email info@lemmy.world with a link to the post to get the admins/mods attention.
