@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do so.

To request ownership/moderator privileges, scroll down to where it says “MODERATORS” in the sidebar. There will be an icon of a hand pointing upwards that you can click on, then make the request. Cheers, and thank you for your hard work Ernest, as well as future mods.

    Ahhh, I’m so disappointed, I’ve been working on @conservative for months, and really hoping to take it on,
    and it looks like I missed out.

    Back when I started they actually held a poll about whether my kind of nature content would be OK and it was voted yes, so I hope the new owner is pro-conserving things and doesn’t purge it and turn it into just another US politics sub!

      Perhaps it’s worth a shot to reach out to Ernest about that. It’s very apparent that you’re one of, if not the most consistent contributors to that magazine. Based off of a cursory glance, the person who took the ownership hasn’t made any contributions. Best of luck.

          He replied earlier in this thread–you could try a DM to start. Alternatively, pinging him here may also be an option. I’m not sure which would be best. Apologies.

              Congrats, you deserve it.
              I only posted there a few times, to bump down some posts from that annoying person.

                I remember you!!! Yeah that person was a bit hard to understand. Sometimes I couldn’t see their posts.

                I really appreciated you standing up for me about conserving traditions! :-) ♡

              Oh! You got moderator from me! I’m glad you got it. I liked what you did, and didn’t get rid of any of your posts while I had moderator there. There were some old posts that didn’t fit with the conservation/nature/culture theme… I’m glad it’s in the hands of someone with a vision for the magazine. ;-)
