Mod is active on lemmy, however community has been inactive for quite some time. I did post on there a while back, but all content in the community seems to have been deleted since. Last October I sent DMs to the current owner requesting mod/transfer of leadership, however never heard back. I am the founder/mod of c/thrashmetal. Thanks.
Nothing wrong with that!
And it is easier to moderate from the same instance as the community.
The good thing about lemmy is that you can change the display name of a community, so no matter what the !***@ part is, you could tweak it to show as whatever, if you wanted to.
