Asking because I remember similar from e.g. Okuna where a shiton of communities were created during the gold rush but many were left unmoderated for months until they eventually ceased.

And at what point would a transfer be considered by staff?

    Generally, admins can reasign communities. What is required for that will probably depend on the instance admins the specific community is hosted on.

    On lemmy.ml it is generally enough to request a community in !community_requests@lemmy.ml where you point out that the community is abandoned and that you are/were active in the community.

    Requirements may differ from instance to instance.

      Perfect, thanks. Knowing that this is already possible eases my mind.

      I don’t have an actual use-case for this. Just trying to learn from history 🙃
