Most instances have a community where users can request the moderator role for inactive or unmoderated communities.

As each instance names these slightly differently, I thought I’d create a thread to collect as many as possible.

Please comment below with equivalent communities and I’ll add them to the list.

Note: When requesting the moderator role for a community, it is best to do so from a local account (same instance as the community) rather than a remote account. Many people (myself included) have encountered federation issues with some moderation actions when using a remote account.

    They very recently created this dedicated thread where one can request the reopening of any ‘sleeping’ community

    Thanks! Added.

    I would suggest anyone to create an account on the concerned instance to administer that community.

    Thanks, that’s an excellent point. I know Blaze and I (and probably others) have accumulated a suite of alt accounts because of moderation issues from remote accounts. I’ve added a note to the OP.
