We currently have quite a few:
- [email protected] (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
- [email protected] (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
- [email protected] (active poster, inactive moderator)
- [email protected] (low activity, unmoderated)
- [email protected] (no active posters or moderators)
Dead instances
Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?
I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.
I personally vote for [email protected] as that is a well-managed instance for the topics relating to science. The instance version number is 0.19.9.
I agree with you, that seems like the most suitable instance for this topic, in my opinion.
I’d be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.
Awesome. @[email protected], would you be able to add Bitswap and Otter to the moderator list of [email protected]?
@[email protected] and @[email protected], it might help Bee if you each make a post or leave a comment on [email protected].
Thanks! Made a comment here

Here’s a local link to Otter’s comment: https://mander.xyz/post/28079448/18405909
Are you able to appoint them as a moderator?
Yes, I appointed him as a moderator now.
Thanks, that’s great!
How to add mods to the community? 😅
Open the drop-down menu on someone’s post or comment. One of the options should be “Appoint as moderator”.
Example
@[email protected] can you comment on any of the community posts so I can appoint you as a moderator?
Done. https://lemmy.world/post/28335991
I appointed you as a moderator.👍🏻

Would you be willing/interested to take on a moderator role for that community? It would be useful to have at least one moderator with a local account.
I am interested in being moderator for that community.
Awesome, thank you! I have added you as a moderator.
Any idea what happened to Bee? Their profile page and comments have vanished.
It looks like that account was deleted by someone with access to the account. Most likely by the account owner. When a user deletes their account there is no form to fill in a reason, the data is just wiped.
That’s great to hear!
@[email protected], please add Bee to the moderator list of [email protected] at your earliest convenience.
Great, added. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you! Feel free to promote the community to [email protected] to make people aware there are new mods
