I am excited about the idea of Lemmy growing and having more and more active users.

In my case, the most visited subreddit was r/chess, and I have tried to promote the use of https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

This is the lemmy chess community with the most subscribers, however I saw that it has no active moderator, the previous one corresponds to a deleted account. I see that this can be a significant obstacle to adoption, what can be done in these cases?

    Does that mean the admins have the power to remove you as a moderator?

    Who holds them accountable?

      Absolutely, its their hardware or money running the server instance. Accountability comes in the fact that you can nuke your community and move instances whenever you want to

      Presumably instances whose admins behave unpopularly will see their users move to other instances. You sort of choose your own admins, that way.
