I think that message shows when a sub doesn't have active moderators?
It's not showing for me. But the sub does currently have 1 mod.

SnapMod has this feature. You can use it with lspatch if you are not rooted.
Any chance you know more than one human language? Some projects need translators!
The CEO of an unprofitable company went to war with the thousands of unpaid workers that keep his company running. Can't explain that.

Sure, discoverability isn't the best. There are lots of bugs. Things are confusing. Federation issues are an inconvenience.
But you know what else is missing?
The spammers aren't here. The trolls aren't here. The propagandists from the East aren't here trying to spread misinformation or sway elections. The bots aren't here manipulating the front page or comments. The corporations and marketers aren't here trying to sell products or steer discourse. There isn't CSAM or targeted harassment or doxxing. Most governments are probably not here. And it doesn't matter if He Gets Us because He's Not Here.
Everything is too new and too novel and too ephemeral to have been picked up by the people that are going to cause the "big boy" social network problems. And that's great, because the moderation tools at present would not be up to the task, and the legal teams are non-existent.
When the threadiverse crosses a certain threshold, Bad Things are going to happen. And those growing pains are going to be much worse than the ones we're experiencing right now.
Oh man. Some of us are never going to get some of the reminders we set.
If it were only about the ads, they would allow third party apps to show their ads via the API.
The statistical data that they collect from your usage is still extremely valuable. They're still fingerprinting you and tracking you around the site. They're still A/B testing you with suggested content.
