Revive Photoshop Battles? (lemm.ee)

I was looking around, and realised we don't have a single functioning equivalent to r/PhotoshopBattles. On a quick search:

!photoshopbattles@lemm.ee - Completely empty and unmoderated
!photoshopbattles@lemmy.world - Dormant for 2 years (with a mod who hasn't posted or commented on lemmy in 2 years)
!photoshop_nonsense@suppo.fi - Finnish instance, but the newest post is from 6 months ago
!imageedits@lemmy.zip - Dormant for 2 years (mod dormant for 1 year)

We should revive the lemm.ee instance, but imo there is merit to starting afresh with a name that isn't tied to a proprietary closed-source piece of software, like image edits or editbattles

If there's anyone who's interested, please take it up. I don't mind being a mod, but I can't be the main (let's be real, sole) contributor right now. I've got my hands full with !fakealbumcover@lemm.ee, and that's just putting text on images, not even close to realistic edits like this demands.

We should revive the lemm.ee instance

Because the others are dormant while that one is unmoderated? I thought it might be beneficial to just start making !imageedits@lemmy.zip alive again since it already exists. Even though the mod is inactive. If they do not come back or use Lemmy, you can always message the instance admin to install you as mod too and possibly kick the dormant account off the mod team, that's what I did with !bunnies@lemmy.world with my lemmy.world account.

Or is it because you use lemm.ee right now, and you only can use all mod powers on a local account? I have multiple accounts on different instances to deal with modding on different instances. It really does not take much effort for me to hop into different instances.

In a curious twist, I can't find !imageedits@lemmy.zip through a lemmy.zip account. It just doesn't show up in search, and clicking on the links I myself posted from this account leads to an error message.

I wonder if someone closed it down? If not, I have had similar troubles with lemmy.zip and honestly forgot about them when I made this post.

We remove communities with dormant mods to prevent spam :)

[–] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So I made a backup community, !otomegames@lemmy.zip on your community, explicitly saying I would not do any posting or unlock unless the main !otomegames@ani.social died. Is that getting killed unless the community receives posts? What about the @OtomeGamesBot@lemmy.zip (which is usually me manually operating, oops)?

Nah, we do a whole process where we write out to mods first to check before deleting - plus iirc you've put its a backup community in the sidebar. We're not so big I don't recognize the communities quite yet!

We wouldn't delete any dormant account.

[–] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 4 points 1 day ago

Whew, thank you. And you are absolutely right I am explicit about its backup status in the sidebar.

[–] humiddragonslayer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

That is a fair point. Promoting the community again should help take care of contributors as well, hopefully.
