Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.

I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don’t think he’s coming back to lemmy. He’s offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don’t know if that’s possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.

Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.

Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?

Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.

Here’s the conversation if anyone is interested.

    I don’t really have any interest in becoming a mod tbh. After the post from a few days ago, I was just wondering what will happen to the community if there is no one to steer the ship.

    If we start getting spam or something we’re stuck with it. If the community starts to grow we’re stuck just making standard posts without stickied posts, no bot accounts to make regular posts etc.

    I can try to help with bots or something but I’m no expert.
