Ok I'm one of the new users and it looks like I've commented on communities hosted there maybe a half dozen times. I guess I'm part of the problem 😔
But I'm a little unclear about the role an admin plays on an instance? Are they actually taking on mod responsibilities, in which case I can certainly understand how 4 would be totally swamped?
I guess in my head I sort of imagined each community has its own mod(s) and the admins would only step in as a kind of "supreme court" if some dispute gets out of hand? I've probably got this totally wrong.
