I’d say 3 weeks waiting for the answer of someone (mod 1 week, CM 1 week, Viki help center 1 week).
After that, you can directly send a private message to one member of the Viki staff for channels with recruiters that are not active anymore. You might not have an answer immediately, but they usually answer.
Their contact is here: [Viki Community] Meet the Viki Community Team!
If you’re looking for projects to subtitle, at the same time:
-
What is your language? Maybe people in your language will reach you once they know your language and your profile link.

You can look for active moderators in your language. They might have dramas they need translators. To find them, you can go on the main page of Viki > current dramas airing, coming soon dramas or dramas from this year.
To contact them: https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/articles/200138974-How-do-I-message-a-Channel-Manager-or-Moderator- -
You can also take a look and offer your help in dramas in the coming soon section or currently on air. But you might have a Viki pass restriction. Have you contributed enough to get the Viki pass? You might have more luck on Chinese dramas or movies to subtitle them, but I don’t know your tastes.

You might find other posts on this forum where people look for subtitlers. You can also write a post to offer your help.
