I started Request a Feddit.uk community and would be OK with starting some communities but I'd be looking to hand over the reigns asap as I don't have the knowledge or time to get it moving and keep it moving.
And that brings me to my first stumbling block - how to add and remove moderators (the latter including myself).
After some Googling I found a 2021 request to make adding a moderator more intuitive, so I was able to find that but only in the web interface not the Jerboa for Lemmy app - you click the three vertical dots of someone's post in that community and it gives you the option to make them a moderator. Screenshot attached to this post.
Have better options been added that I can't find?
Then, how do you remove a moderator including yourself? This 2020 post asks this and the answer would appear to be that, at the time, you can't remove yourself (partly to prevent unmoderated communities) but another moderator can remove you. Has this changed? I could see it leading to coups if any moderator can kick another out (it would be better to discuss any disputes) and doesn't stop a moderator from just ignoring a community, so it is effectively unmoderated.
