How do we request dead magazines on kbin with inactive mods? (kbin.social)

Hello,

As a lemmy user that is concerned about the current state of lemmy.world, I would like to know the process of requesting a community on kbin because I'm looking for alternatives to migrate my community in case it implodes. Specifically, I'm looking at taking over m/drama as the lone mod is inactive.

How would the process work towards requesting communities on kbin and how long may it take for a request to go through?

You're looking for /m/KbinRequest, per that magazine's sidebar:

This magazine is for requesting owner privileges for an abandoned magazine or to replace inactive owners you currently moderate.

However, also per that sidebar:

This magazine is currently inactive until a proper moderation team is added. Don't request anything until an announcement is made.

Doesn't look like there's going to be a process for this for a little bit yet. I suppose in the meantime, you could make a new backup magazine for /m/drama content, and then close it back down once ownership transfer tools are available.
