I’ve been busy. So far, I’ve reviewed and upvoted every old post. Just took a complete stock of what’s there. Commented on a bunch of them. That might bring some old posters back. There’s been some action already. Good to see!

I’m completely new to modding on lemmy. I had to read about how moderation works.
Most of the stuff that I want to do, I can’t.
I’m not the original mod for the stoner_rock comm, and I think that limits me from certain actions like updating the sidebar and top banner graphic.

From what I’ve read, there’s a hierarchy of admin- and mod-hood. The person who starts the comm is like a super-mod. They can de-mod subsequent mods, but not vice versa.
From that bit of info, I’m inferring that as a secondary-mod, I may not have access to modify the properties of the comm. Is that true?

I don’t have a new banner graphic yet. Workin on that, but I would like to update the sidebar.
I want to include some post guidelines, like linking to somewhere you can buy the music (like the band’s home page or bandcamp if possible), and I want to make some suggestions about kinds of posts (concert reviews, upcoming shows, music links, etc.)

I’m in no rush here. There’s a lot of work in front of me. But, it appears that I can’t start right now because I lack access.
Please let me know if I’m doing it wrong or if I just need to wait a while or something.
Or you know, if I need more access, promote me.
