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.
- All posts must be about a dead community. Meta posts should be marked [META]
- Be nice.
... i will work on the icon/banner later ;)

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.
