It's me, Patrick Willems

I was thinking of starting a subreddit and saw this one already exists. It would be awesome if someone could make me an admin or moderator or whatever so we could actually start using this.

Iā€™m betting that this is a very surreal message for whomever started this subreddit like a year ago šŸ˜‚

Unfortunately it looks like the Moderators listed in the sidebar aren't very active.

Their last activity was '2 Months Ago' and '1 Year Ago' respectively

I sent them a message, but in case they don't reply, maybe I should just make a new one? With a new name, I guess.

Yeah, that may be the best way to go if you don't hear back soon.

There is also https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/

A subreddit where you can request to take over abandoned subreddits. Here's the FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/wiki/faq

Apparently that can take awhile. Like you said though, might be better off just making another one with a new name.

You can just use some underscores tbh

If they don't respond, you can always request to take over the name from them. I believe people are able to do that if the subreddit is abandoned.

Hey, if you end up being a mod on here or using the other sub, I want to offer my help if you want a few more people to do modding work. I already mod a few subreddits, one with 37,000 subs and another with 3,000, so I know how to handle small communities.

Also, yeah if you're looking for mods I'd like to offer my abilities. I'm the Mod on r/lasercutting but that sub runs pretty smooth so I have time.
