There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don't even have rules or a description).
Will there be some kind of cleanup or will it stay there until someone asks to take over it?

Wouldn't that be awful from a preservation standpoint?

An empty community, or one that only ever had a few posts & then kind of died out, probably isn't worth keeping around IMO. But I also think that could be decided on a case-by-case basis by the instance admins.
