Taking over abandoned(?) community? in c/lemmy_ca_support@lemmy.ca
[–] 9 points 2 months ago* (4 children)

We have a specific community for requests like these: !communityrequests@lemmy.ca

But we typically give the current mods 5 days to respond, and if we don't hear, then we can appoint you as a new mod.

And just to be clear, you don't need to make another post on that community, it's just for future reference!

So we will wait to see if any of the mods have any objections. Thanks!

    In this instance, to what extent is witch hunting against the rules (and what may be done about it)? in c/lemmy_ca_support@lemmy.ca

    sorry about the delayed response to this, but just to clear out any confusion, we (lemmy.ca) don't have our own app or apk to download. i'm guessing that you probably just added a home screen shortcut to our website possibly?

    anyways, as others have said, there's a bunch of different lemmy apps for android, there's a nice overview of them here, and you can filter by various things, etc: https://www.lemmyapps.com/

    i would recommend against any of the discontinued apps, however.

    i've heard good things about Isekai Ramen, and we will likely go check it out sometime soon. Also curious about Dave & Laverne's.

    Heard mixed reviews on Belle's, but at least we have another BBQ option here.

    hey! thanks for the offer to help. feel free to offer to help mod any communities, and if there's any local communities here that look unmoderated, let us know! that would be a good start.

    Announcement: Two new admins (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 2 years ago* by [M] to c/main@lemmy.ca
    5 comments fedilink
     

    Hello All,

    Our current admins have busy lives, but we want to make sure we're still on top of growing and maintaining lemmy.ca. As such we've decided to add two new admins to help out. Please welcome @otter@lemmy.ca and @mp3@lemmy.ca. Both have been active with generating reports and keeping the site free from spammers and trolls, and both have experience moderating other communities too. We are confident they will help make the site even better!

    June 2023 financial update for lemmy.ca (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 3 years ago by [M] to c/meta@lemmy.ca

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/1711526

    This is a little late, but I figure that it's better late than never!

    For full transparency, I'm just going to give a high level overview of the financial situation of lemmy.ca through June 2023, when I started to accept donations.

    Total Expenses: $30.00

    This includes all hosting fees, including backups, etc.

    Total Contributions: $1,503.03

    • $1,184.84 through LiberaPay
    • $318.19 through OpenCollective

    All contribution amounts are not including payment processor and/or OpenCollective fees.

    Remaining Balance: $1,473.03

    I plan on transferring the remaining balance to the new admin team, whenever they are ready to accept it.

    Thank you to all that have contributed so far, I couldn't have gotten the instance to where it is now without your generosity. I'm very excited to see what comes next and look forward to watching the instance grow more!

    New Admins, Server Upgraded (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 3 years ago by [M] to c/meta@lemmy.ca
    comment fedilink
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/1044064

    As you may have already noticed, 3 new admins have been added. Welcome @TruckBC@lemmy.ca , @Shadow@lemmy.ca , and @Jarcode@lemmy.ca! There are also many more people that are helping behind the scenes as well. They have many years of experience moderating various subreddits, and I believe that they can bring lemmy.ca to the next level.

    We have been collaborating so that they will be taking over hosting this instance. When I initially volunteered to take over this instance early in 2022, I was thinking it would just be a hobby project, and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. With the surge of new users in the past few weeks, and potentially a lot more to come soon, I decided that I don't have the time or energy required to dedicate to running this site, and it just so happened that they were looking for a new home too.

    @crb@lemmy.ca and I will stay on as an admin while we transition to a new server, just to make sure everything goes smoothly, but I plan on removing myself as an admin once everything is settled. I will try and stay active here as a user, because I believe that lemmy and the fediverse can become something great!

    I have also suspended donations for the time being, but thank you to all that have already donated. All your current donations will be transferred to the new admins.

    I have also upgrade the server to 8 CPU's and 8 GB, since it seemed to be struggling with an influx of new users tonight, so sorry about the brief downtime!

    If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

    Preemptive Blocking of Instances with high potential bot counts (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) by [M] to c/main@lemmy.ca
    comment fedilink
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/919010

    I have taken the advice from this post and blocked all instances with > 10,000 users, from this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRthB7RtY4Rr0t5fhVKaliJnwSmptMc5oJi7uha_OBcF4wpu4eElxAxNzaCqjlq6NsOE9GpgSnMzZ2x/pubhtml

    I will continue to monitor things and will make another announcement if more blocks are necessary.

    If anybody is interested in getting a cleaned up instance federated again, feel free to contact me over DM (if you’re currently blocked, you can contact me on Matrix: @smorks:40to.ca).
