Hi folks ๐Ÿ‘‹

Is it possible to take over a community that was created by a now absent owner?

This is the community:

!coys@lemmy.world

I've messaged the mod @gabrielconroy@lemmy.world a few times but I don't get a response. I also created a post in the hopes they would notice, but I think they've abandoned the community - their last activity was 3 months ago.

I'd like to develop this community further, but I'm stuck without being able to become a mod myself.

Any ideas?

You can also tag one of the admins in your post and that should work. Eithey way, message received! And I transferred the community to you!
