Seems like some follow-up work is in order. I've seen at least one person not see the point (that it's on Lemmy). They failed their knowledge check (arcana, or history? IDK)! Maybe someone can lend them some bardic inspiration?
There's a good reason for this - which the "mods die" post does somewhat outline.
As part of the mass purge of NSFW posts and changing the policy, the sub was set to "manual approval" of all posts, meaning for any new post to appear there, a mod has to manually tick that it's okay to let it through.
And they banned three of the most active mods at the same time.
When I posted that image, it was held in a queue for about 30 minutes, and then suddenly 30 posts appeared all at once, (presumably a mod logged in and cleared out the queue) - then nothing for half a day.
I'm still on reddit aswell as feddi but I unsubscribed from DNDmemes over there. Eventually as I find suitable (and active) replacements for all my usual reddit haunts I figure I'll just naturally stop going there entirely.

This afternoon, r/dndmemes received the following message from the Mod Code of Conduct account:
If you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action. 3 moderators have been permanently suspended and removed from the mod team for participating in this activity already. They are not to be added back to the team under any account.
Moments later, and without further warning, the following mods were removed from the team and permanently suspended from Reddit:
u/Dalimey100
u/4cheese
u/EquivalentInflation
Additionally, Mod CoCk deleted our newly added SMUT and LEWD flairs and removed all recent posts using either of those flairs.
In light of admins making the unilateral decision to remove the very ability to use Reddit's features to properly label and categorize content within our subreddit (supposedly the one thing mods are supposed to do according to the Code), all posts will be automatically removed by Automod, pending manual review of all content here in the subreddit. Additionally, NSFW content may no longer be posted as (even though our rules have never disallowed NSFW content) allowing any posts is apparently grounds for permanent suspension.
This will be our mode of operation while we work through this issue and until submissions that would have fallen under our NSFW flairs have died down. Given the removal of some of our most active moderators, this will also result in many large delays between posting and approval. Please keep in mind this is a volunteer position and do not message asking for approval. Dealing with responding to needless messages will only increase our workload and your message will likely be ignored. All posts will be reviewed....eventually.
Further rule adjustments or posting requirements may be forthcoming and we will be sure to update everyone when they do.
