Our instance has been around for a while now and had its ups and downs. As a result there are some communities for which the original creators and mods are not active participants anymore.

This is especially true for those moderated solely by @ex_06 who originally started this site but handed it over to me about six months ago due to changed life priorities.

There are also a lot of communities only moderated by me, and as the current sole site admin I would like to distribute the moderation efforts a bit more.

It is not strictly necessary to have an account on slrpnk.net to become a community moderator, as Lemmy supports federated moderation. Thus if you are joining us from an remote instance feel free to apply as well.

So if any of those communities are especially interesting to you, please make a short introduction post in them and I can transfer moderation rights to you. Thanks!

Ok! Then I might go make a post in /c/aesthetic (aesthetics says to me a more general thing than art, and you suggested to delete one. It also has more subscribers :D). If I handle it well and some other communities are still up for adoption, I might consider taking up another one in due time.

And thank you for everything you have done so far so some of us can come to an already fully functional community! :D

Maybe we can also keep both if you are willing to moderate them. The current subscriber numbers don't say much as this instance has been around for > 1 year and a lot of people have come and gone again already.

It is true that fusing them might get more people together, and thus more activity, but it is kind of sad to have drawings and painting together with rooftop gardens or clothing. I gues I can try keeping them bothe alive and If one does not have any activity in a long time we can reconsider. Also adding the existence of the other in the description might get the posts a bit more organized.

I'll make a post in both then :)

Sounds good to me. Thanks!
