What can be done now that this community's creator and mod has deleted their account?
Can you make me a mod?
Does that deleted account still have mod permissions if they re-register?
How does this work?

I can appoint a new mod. Interested?

Yes

Congratulations! ๐ŸŽ‰

You're the mod now, dawg.

Maybe the instance admin, @ruud@lemmy.world could help?

[โ€“] ericjmorey@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

@ruud@lemmy.world Are there any answers to this?

[โ€“] twistedtxb@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's not what you specifically asked for, but my guess is that the original mod saw that /c/hockey@lemmy.ca was getting more traction and decided to bail out.

The funny thing is that https://lemmy.world/c/hockey has more subscribers, but I was the only person to add content.

I bet you have to message the admin(s) of the instance and get them to make you a mod. That is just a guess tho. No clue about the rest...

Yes, instance admins can appoint new mods.
