The application page seems to get stuck at 'Loading' for me (perhaps because I'm using a VPN?).
Is it possible to apply in the comments here, or in a dm?

We are looking for admin/mod especifically from Lemmy community itself. We are in serious need of moderators or admin with Lemmy knowledge. Please let us know if you would like to be a part of the movement and this Lemmy instance. If you would like to be a part please understand there would be significant time commitment needed as we are a growing community here at Lemmy.
Application <— Fill This To Apply
Scope: 50501.chat Sitewide
Thank you!
Should be good now, please check
Confirmed working now, thanks :)
I suggest you advertise this in [email protected] -- there are a fair number of people there interested in "growing" lemmy who might be interested.
PST timezone I mean I don't have a job and I'm just wallowing at home. I'm happy to learn and possibly help.
I can help mod, time zone is PST. Admin would be better for someone else tho. Have attended 50501 protest & march. Have been on lemmy since the reddit API debacle
Some background on what this movement is would be helpful. The sidebar on the community is not helpful either.
This is why they need help!
Yeah, a short explanatory paragraph at the top of the instance sidebar and this community sidebar would be very helpful. Maybe something like this, just off the top of my head:
50501.chat is home of the 50501 movement on Lemmy. Get involved, find a protest, and help stop the US's slide into authoritarianism!
I have often found this to be an issue with grassroots political organizing. Lots of calls to action without any context regarding the goal(s) or why people should care enough to join.
