Do we have a mechanism to deal with absent mods yet? (kbin.social)

Title is hopefully self-explanatory. During the early growth, there were a number of examples of users setting up magazines based on popular Reddit subs but then losing their initial enthusiasm for kbin.

I'm an active user of one such sub, which has taken off in the last few weeks after a slow start, but where the only mod hasn't been seen in over a month. How do we either replace them or get additional mods added, when there's no way to get in contact with them in the first place?

Hey, this mechanism is already finished. The problem is that I planned the next update after the release of the first /kbin tagged version. There's still about a week left for that because there are really a lot of changes that I'm still testing. I'll try to speed up this process and quickly create some external procedure.

Hi @ernest!

First off, thank you for all your hard work! Kbin is awesome.

Secondly, thank you! I cannot speak for other abandoned and neglected magazines, but we really appreciate your help. @theinspectorst and myself have been working hard to find our moderator to no avail.

Awesome, thank you - and I'm sure we can wait a week!

Any updates on this general mechanism? Another, larger magazine now needs help: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/377620/Seems-like-m-RedditMigration-is-currently-unmoderated

Btw - really appreciate everything you've done. I know how hard it can be to keep up with all the requests and tags, you must be utter swamped.
