Roboragi linkes the anime mentioned to MAL and other sites which is super neat and useful.

If none of the mods have had made any comments recently, probably worth reaching out to an admin to see if you can get mod ownership temporarily.
We technically don’t even need moderator rights to send bot posts to a community, though common sense dictates that you should generally try to get permission before spamming someone else’s community with auto-posts. It seems ass-backward to me to try and take over someone’s community without permission in order to feel better about sending bot posts without permission.
In any case, I don’t believe that the Lemmy developers are overtly interested in managing community ownership drama when they can just tell people to go create a new community where they’re in charge. It’s a bad precedent and bad optics for them to get involved – I would feel wrong for even broaching the question to them.Apparently they totally do requests, but most of the requests that get granted seem to require the moderators to be absent for 1yr+. There’s also the minor wrinkle that communities can only be moderated by users on the same instance and new registrations for lemmy.ml are currently closed indefinitely.There’s also the minor wrinkle that communities can only be moderated by users on the same instanceReally? The lemmy documentation says you can. You need an account on the same instance only to be an admin.
Go figure, guess I heard people talking about the restriction on admins and heard “moderator”. Thanks for keeping me honest.
I actually tested appointing a moderator from an outside instance once in the past, but only via the user page, so I never had a chance to find out that the “Appoint Moderator” UI is actually tucked away inside the comment expandos.
When I was appointed a moderator in 0.17.x the database crashed hard and admin needed to manualy edit the database. It is technically supported but very buggy and untested.
