A place to request abandoned, inactive, or banned communities on sh.itjust.works. If there is a community you'd like to take over please make a post linking to the community and explaining what you plan on doing with it.
Guidelines:
To make a request please create a post with the link to the community you'd like to request in the link field.
Try and make the post titled something short and descriptive i.e. requesting c/communityname .
In the post body write a short description about what you plan on doing with the community, failure to do so may result in the request being denied, though we won't outright deny you for it, as long as you tell us when/if we ask.
Rules:
Only communities local to sh.itjust.works are eligible for requests, we cannot grant requests on external communities.
Do not request active communities or communities with active moder
u/madthumbs is a long-known troll in the Linux community for creating R*ddit and Lemmy pages called various forms of "linux sucks". Some of their memes are fun, most are just old, unfunny and redundant jokes.
I just noticed their user account on SJW got banned (probably as recently as yesterday), so I'm officially requesting here to take over the moderator position for the c/linuxsucks page.
As an enthusiastic Linux user for a long time, I want to promote posting, sometimes self-deprecating, Linux and Linux-related memes on the SJW instance!
I am not a member of sh.itjustworks, so I know I cannot become the new moderator/admin of any of your community.
That being said, I do have a question regarding one of your inactive community I have recently started trying to revive by posting regular content: https://sh.itjust.works/c/journaling
The community has seen no activity since its creation and I have yet to hear back form its admin I contacted a few days ago. Inactive or not, there are a couple hundreds members subscribed to it.
So far, I have posted 4 or 5 new topics and, even though modest, it seems to generate some activity. Which I find encouraging.
But before I invest any more energy into this, other users I have discussed the question with have suggested I should make sure I or someone else will be able to moderate the community if a troll, or worse, was to find their way inside.
Others have also suggested that it would be simpler to create a new community on my own instance (jlai.lu) and invite me
