Well, it’s not that complicated.

STEP ONE: go to the community !support@lemmy.world and make a post titled “Request to moderate c/gothindustrial” (you’ll see other posts on that community with similar titles) In the post body, say:

• you’ve been posting to !gothindustrial@lemmy.world for a couple weeks and realized the mod isn’t active
• the mod hasn’t posted anywhere in a couple years: https://lemmy.world/u/aessedai
• the mod apparently never made any mod actions: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=426700
• you’ve been told that the mod hasn’t replied to direct messages. (I Sergio am now informing you of that.)
• therefore you would like to be a moderator

STEP TWO: the admins of lemmy.world get back to you.

If they approve you, I can help you by announcing the “relaunch” in various communities, and I plan to post and comment, I just don’t want to mod.

Anyone else interested? I’m sure it’s better to have more than one mod.
