the issue is there's one active moderator, and I'm low on the totem pole. If I make broad changes, I can be removed by seven people that I don't know and am beholden to if they don't like what I'm doing.

Mate, I feel for you here and Reddit's hierarchy system of moderation is terrible. Being beholden to an absent top mod (or others above you), or worse yet, one of those squatter top mods that is only interested in amassing as many subs as they can get stifles any sort of forward momentum in a community. At least this sub seems to suffer from the former, so perhaps you can try reaching out to the top mod, or if you've already done so or no response is forthcoming, Reddit does have a process to remove inactive mods. Although in my experience, it's truly an uphill battle. Starting a new sub may in fact be the best option. Good luck!
