Can I create a magazine, then step down from a moderator position? (kbin.cafe)

I do not have the time, patience, or thick skin needed to be a moderator. I do have a community or two I’d like to create on Kbin and post to, though. Is it currently possible for this set of steps to happen?

  1. Create a magazine, which automatically makes you its moderator.
  2. Appoint another moderator.
  3. Either remove yourself as moderator, or have the other moderator successfully remove you.

Are you saying that you think I have zero chance of getting a magazine off the ground so I have more posters than just myself, or zero chance of finding someone else who is willing to moderate? I’m not entirely sure I understand your reply.

This one. Not zero though but close to zero. Usually a mag is created by someone who is passionate about the topic (which you are) and wants to moderate it (which you are not).

There are hundreds of empty Mags that have been created and abandoned. (most of which are just clones of reddit subs) I have seen many threads of mods wanted for this mag I created but no longer want to mod but I have yet to see anyone take one over.
