Keep in mind that some communities might appear inactive but are just waiting on posts from people related to the community topic

The criteria for this community is:

A community which all mods are inactive for more than 3 months, and the modlog has had no activity for the same time.

I think it’s a safe bet? I hope, at least

Mods can also appear inactive because they can be very busy in their daily life or be in hospital for a long period of time especially when it’s a single mod and sometimes can appear inactive for that time

And I also have no idea how lemmys mod permissions work and some others might not have an idea how it works either and be reluctant to add mods that could do a hostile takeover

That’s why it’s a rule that you have to ping mods beforehand :)

And all you do to get mod perms is ask the admin. They’re mostly compliant.

I was actually thinking of doing that for some time, what great timing! Thank you :D

If you ever need a mod to help, just let me know.

Yeah me too! lol

Thanks! If you wanna join the mod team I’ll add you right away. Don’t think it will require much right now but never hurts having other active lemmings’ help!

I’ll be glad to :) I’ll add it to c/latin’s sidebar since it’s modded again, too

Not sure if it exists, but there should be a way to find communities that have 0 local subscribers.

Even better: mbin has an inactive communities list locally, but not just 0 subscribers. It’d incredibly useful for lemmy!

You can pull that data from the API. Lemmyverse json file includes local subscribers so you don’t even need to pull the data yourself.

Assuming my script isn’t broken there are ~15 000 communities fitting the criteria. (The high number makes me question that though.)

E: I think I know what’s going on. LW communities don’t seem to have local subscribers provided and my script assumes that it means 0. Will get that fixed one day.

There are some rpg communities I’d love to see more activity but I haven’t even been pushing as much as usual recently, let alone posting our moderating. Maybe one day.

It’s a good idea to spread PSA’s like this though so pretty people can.

Community Revival

!comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

This community is for discussion of dead communities and the planning of reviving them.

What should a post/comment look like?

A post ideally would be mentioning that community, what value it could contribute to the fediverse, how much dedication it would take and approximately how many mods there should be, and a call for volunteers.

A comment should be a suggestion, correction or volunteering.

What is a dead community?

A community which all mods are inactive for more than 3 months, and the modlog has had no activity for the same time.

Please ping all the admins in the comments too, this is necessary.

Rules

The rules are very simple.

  1. All posts must be about a dead community. Meta posts should be marked [META]
  2. Be nice.

… i will work on the icon/banner later ;)
