I am excited about the idea of Lemmy growing and having more and more active users.
In my case, the most visited subreddit was r/chess, and I have tried to promote the use of https://lemmy.world/c/chess@lemmy.ml
This is the lemmy chess community with the most subscribers, however I saw that it has no active moderator, the previous one corresponds to a deleted account. I see that this can be a significant obstacle to adoption, what can be done in these cases?

Request the admin make you a moderator

Does that mean the admins have the power to remove you as a moderator?
Who holds them accountable?

Absolutely, its their hardware or money running the server instance. Accountability comes in the fact that you can nuke your community and move instances whenever you want to

Presumably instances whose admins behave unpopularly will see their users move to other instances. You sort of choose your own admins, that way.

Your ability to create and federate your own instance.

The community. If an instance admin goes rogue, the community can be restarted at another instance or a new instance.

The owner of the instance can re-assign moderators.
