Looking for more admins for lemm.ee (lemm.ee)

Hey folks!

So far, I have been the sole admin at lemm.ee. Most reports I receive don't really require any action from me - they are handled directly by moderators of the communities the reports originate from. Still, there is a chance that any reported post might contain content which would need to be purged from lemm.ee servers, so even reports that don't need any action should still be checked by an admin.

The volume of incoming issues has been quite manageable so far, but I have noticed a steady increase in daily reports lately. Additionally, there is nobody covering the report queue while I am sleeping or otherwise unable to access my computer.

I would like to ensure that there is a bit more redundancy in the admin team, so I am looking to potentially add one or two admins. Specifically, I am looking for somebody who would be willing to share the following responsibilities (copied from our administration policy):

Admins

Ensure that there are no communities on lemm.ee which break lemm.ee rules
Ban lemm.ee users who break our rules on other instances
Ban users who consistently break rules across multiple communities
Purge illegal content from lemm.ee

Note: I am not looking for help with system administration work at this time, this is strictly about administration within Lemmy itself.

Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you're doing your job well, then most people won't even realize you're doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

If there is anybody who would be interested in helping out even despite the above disclaimer, please leave a comment with the following info:

On a typical day, during what hours are you active on lemm.ee (with timezone info)
Do you have any previous experience with moderation/administration
Are you in agreement with the current state of the lemm.ee administration policy
