We currently have quite a few:
- !space@lemmy.world (most active, has had federation delays in the past)
- !space@mander.xyz (active poster, topic-appropriate instance)
- !space@lemmy.ml (active poster, inactive moderator)
- !space@lemm.ee (low activity, unmoderated)
- !space@sopuli.xyz (no active posters or moderators)
Dead instances
Do each of these communities serve a distinct purpose? If not, should we consolidate some of them?
I think the ManderXYZ instance is a nice match for the topic, but I am interested to hear what others think.
I agree with you, that seems like the most suitable instance for this topic, in my opinion.
I’d be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.
Awesome. @Bee@mander.xyz, would you be able to add Bitswap and Otter to the moderator list of !space@mander.xyz?
@Bitswap@lemmy.world and @otter@lemmy.ca, it might help Bee if you each make a post or leave a comment on !space@mander.xyz.
Thanks! Made a comment here

@Bee@mander.xyz
Here’s a local link to Otter’s comment: https://mander.xyz/post/28079448/18405909
Are you able to appoint them as a moderator?
Yes, I appointed him as a moderator now.
Thanks, that’s great!
How to add mods to the community? 😅
Open the drop-down menu on someone’s post or comment. One of the options should be “Appoint as moderator”.
Example
@Bitswap@lemmy.world can you comment on any of the community posts so I can appoint you as a moderator?
Done. https://lemmy.world/post/28335991
I appointed you as a moderator.👍🏻
Bitswap has posted: https://mander.xyz/post/28299592
Would you be willing/interested to take on a moderator role for that community? It would be useful to have at least one moderator with a local account.
I am interested in being moderator for that community.
Awesome, thank you! I have added you as a moderator.
Any idea what happened to Bee? Their profile page and comments have vanished.
It looks like that account was deleted by someone with access to the account. Most likely by the account owner. When a user deletes their account there is no form to fill in a reason, the data is just wiped.
That’s great to hear!
@Sal@mander.xyz, please add Bee to the moderator list of !space@mander.xyz at your earliest convenience.
Great, added. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you! Feel free to promote the community to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca to make people aware there are new mods
