Please post here if you wish to request moderation of an unmoderated community. Include details of why you are applying to take over the community.
Communities will be considered unmoderated if the community moderators have had no activity within the community for a month. All requests will be vetted and reviewed by the Lemmy.ca Admin Team, who will give the community moderators 5 days to appeal the request.
Done, you are now a mod!
Feel free to make a post to onboard more people if you would like. Some mod actions work better from a local account (ex. pinning and unpinning posts, and seeing certain reports), so it can help to have a secondary local account. Otherwise no harm in moderating from your main :)
