Official Community of Pawb.Social
This community is for requesting dead / abandoned communities that exist on Pawb.Social.
Rules
- All requests must be titled "Requesting c/" then the community name (the short name, e.g. "furry_irl", "meta", not the display name).
- Please include a brief reason for why you want the community, and what you plan to do with it.
- Comments posted must comply with Pawb.Social's Code of Conduct, or may be removed.
- Off-topic posts will be removed and may result in a ban from c/communityrequest.
- For meta discussions, please use c/meta.
Eligibility
- To request a community, it must have no active moderators. A community has active moderators if any mod account has recent activity within the last 90 days.
- You can only request communities that exist on Pawb.Social. We cannot action requests to moderate remote communities.
- You can only request one community at a time, and may not request more than one (1) community every thirty (30) days.
- You must have had an account for at least thirty (30) days prior to making a request.
- You must not have had any administrative actions taken against your account within the last ninety (90) days.
- Remote users requesting communities on Pawb.Social will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and we may reach out to your instance's Admin team during the process.
Request Process
- After a request is submitted, it will be reviewed for compliance with the eligibility requirements by a Pawb.Social Admin.
- If initially approved, a seven (7) day Request for Comment (RFC) period will begin to allow other users to comment and provide feedback on your request.
- The Pawb.Social Admin Team will review comments at the end of the RFC period and determine if your request will be granted.

MODERATORS
I don't know what RFC stands for, but the automod post says we can give community feedback on this request. The current mod of c/yiff is kinda gone, so it's definitely a good idea to give mod powers to someone else in case someone posts inappropriate stuff, harasses users, or similar. You're an active user, mod a few other NSFW communities, and I don't see anything in the mod log that's attributed to you, so it doesn't look like you'd be overworking yourself (this is a fairly quiet instance, so that's no surprise). Just promise not to turn rogue :3
Out of curiosity, how'd you handle DNP lists / requests? There was a post about that in one of the meta communities a while ago, but iirc it didn't spark much discussion.
There hasn't been anything to moderate since there's not really any spam. Engagement on NSFW subs is also very low so not a lot of comments.
A good amount of my posts are sources from E621 which maintains their own DNP lists. I don't currently plan on making a list myself. As long as this remains a quiet community I'll handle requests for DNP on a case by case basis. If it becomes a problem then I can re-evaluate or bring on more mods.
Before moving to Lemmy I moderated the communities with the same names on Reddit. I moderated r/zootopiaporn when it had about 100k subscribers.
