I do not have the time, patience, or thick skin needed to be a moderator. I do have a community or two I’d like to create on Kbin and post to, though. Is it currently possible for this set of steps to happen?
- Create a magazine, which automatically makes you its moderator.
- Appoint another moderator.
- Either remove yourself as moderator, or have the other moderator successfully remove you.
Sorry but that sounds a bit self serving.
“I want this place to exist but want someone else to provide it for me.”
If no one else has created the community…maybe no one cares about it as much as you do (and you don’t care enough to maintain it…).
So your chance of getting someone else to do the work for you is pretty slim.
Kbin doesn’t yet have the ability to transfer ownership of a magazine, so you would need to find a person to be the owner first, and have them create it.
Out of curiosity, what magazines are you looking to make?
m/savedyouaclick. It does exist at @savedyouaclick, but that won’t federate over to kbin for me. I tried multiple times to get the magazine over here, multiple times entering
@savedyouaclick@lemmy.nrd.liin the search bar and it’s still not here so might as well remake it. I’m guessing the reason for this is the same reason behind this issue about a magazine from a specific instance not federating over on kbin’s codeberg: something that is fixed in later versions of lemmy. Not sure if lemmy.nrd.li is running a version late enough that it fixes this issue or not.I also intended to make a couple other magazines that did not have any equivalent I could find on the lemmy.world community search (since it’s one of the biggest instances I figure it’ll show me the most communities, including communities that are not on lemmy.world), but they now have an equivalent!
Fun fact on kbin.social: you can add mods without their consent or notification.
Not ethical to do so, but you can do what you’ve described in your question.
You can? We couldn’t even get one to add even if we wanted to.
