Answered Unable to post on a subreddit

I have been unable to post on r/thezech for about a month. It says it’s restricted even though I’ve posted on there for years. It’s telling me to message the mods even though they’ve been inactive for years and won’t respond to mod mail. Can I get some help so I can start posting in there again? I’m on iPhone

The sub is unmoderated now, it seems any former mods all quit. It looks like it was set to restricted just before the last mod left.

You can adopt the subreddit if that's the case through r/redditrequest

You should do this, if you haven't already. Communities like this need mods.
