Mod has abandoned community. What now?

Hockey - Lemmy.world

What can be done now that this community's creator and mod has deleted their account?
Can you make me a mod?
Does that deleted account still have mod permissions if they re-register?
How does this work?

I can appoint a new mod. Interested?
- Yes
  
  Congratulations! 🎉
  
  You're the mod now, dawg.
Maybe the instance admin, @ruud@lemmy.world could help?
I know it's not what you specifically asked for, but my guess is that the original mod saw that /c/hockey@lemmy.ca was getting more traction and decided to bail out.
- The funny thing is that https://lemmy.world/c/hockey has more subscribers, but I was the only person to add content.
@ruud@lemmy.world Are there any answers to this?
I bet you have to message the admin(s) of the instance and get them to make you a mod. That is just a guess tho. No clue about the rest...
- Yes, instance admins can appoint new mods.
- I don't think this is the post you were trying to reply to
  
  I am confused how that happened. Thanks for pointing it out.
