I noticed that “Ask Lemmy” only has 4 moderators.

That’s a single mod per 12k~ subscribers.

Or a single mod per 250~ users daily.

@14specks hasn’t made a post and comment in 2 years.

@tmpod@lemmy.pt hasn’t in 4 months.

@Cloak in a year.

@mekhos in 3 years.

Where are the mods?

    As many as necessary to keep the users in check.
    Are all participants civil, you need only one. If everyone is feral and posts 10 comments/30min that are worth moderation, maybe 1 mod ler 10 users.
    Some mods can take a 100 users, some only 10.
    A mod is not like an API you can rate limit lol
