I believe one or more moderators of an instance are acting in bad faith. As I understand it, Lemmy does not have a modmail function to address the issue with the team, so I need to seek out the instance admin?
How do I:
-
Find out who that is
-
Contact them
I see no indication towards either on the community’s side bar and I don’t think there’s a support@[instance] community.
The instance sidebar says post here or email [email protected] so if you get nothing here drop them an email.
it doesn’t appear to be about LW.
@op:
you can try to visit the instance domain directly and check the instance sidebar there.
if it’s lemmy it will also show the admins in the sidebar, if it’s other software it can be harder to find. you can then look up the admin users from LW and send them a pm if they don’t have any other contact info on their instance.
Okay cool, it does look like I’ll have to copy+paste and DM every admin on their list if I want to translate Reddit’s Message the Moderators to Lemmy, but I only found that admin list thanks to your help; I was only able to find the moderator list before.
Yeah lemmy.world is pretty clear, but I was hoping for a general how-to because most instances are not, including the instance I’m looking for the information for.
I’m moving from Reddit and trying to learn all the basics, and of course Reddit has the “Message the Moderators” button clearly visible on every subreddit.
Think of each instance as their own website that shares posts. You wouldn’t contact Bing because Google deprioritises your website.
There is no central Lemmy authority as that kinda goes against the idea of the fediverse decentralisation.
The best you can do is post about it on the various mod complaining communities.
Yeah, I totally get that. I don’t think you’re understanding my question.
