Hello! paging @[email protected]. I’d like to request to take over moderation of [email protected] if possible.

  • The last post in the community was by me, now 8 months ago.
  • The current moderator, /u/ABDL_Network, was quite enthusiastic to create various communities during the Reddit drama, but now seems to be missing in action, sadly leaving a number of communities in question.
  • I also want to mention that I reached out to the current moderator by DM quite a few months ago to see if they were still active and never got a response.

As such, I’d like to see if I can take over as the lead moderator for this community, at least for the time being. My hope is to turn /c/abdl into a safe and positive space for adults to explore and discuss this fun and exciting kink without fear or judgment, right here on the fediverse.

Finally, would it be possible to change the name of the community to remove the underscore, so /c/ab_dl would become /c/abdl. (It seems that making a new community without the underscore isn’t possible.)

Thanks!

      Thanks. Would it be possible to remove the superfluous underscore from the name of the community? So “ab_dl” would become “abdl”.

      The site seems to treat them as the same name, but the underscore is very ugly, especially in the URL.

          Damn…

          Would it be possible to delete the community and then remake it with the new name/url? (There’s not too much content or activity yet.)

            If you’d like to limit posts and then change the name/make a post to direct people to the new community that would probably be the best way

              Sadly it looks like that wont work either, because Lemmy considers “ab_dl” and “abdl” to be the same community name, so I can’t make a new community without the underscore, I geuss.

              I think the only way to remove the underscore would be to rename or remove the existing community from the database. But I’m not sure. I’ve send yay a PM asking if there’s any possibility of that, but if not I might be out of luck.
