So, I just kinda stumbled into one of the communities here (/c/casualconversation) and noticed it was empty, nothing in the sidebar, but figured it wouldn't hurt to make a post & try to help it out.

Well, uh, I happened to look at the moderator's profile and XeNoX has apparently been pretty busy making a load of communities here. Technically nothing wrong with that, and I'm not super familiar with lemm.ee's rules regarding this, but I thought it might be worth giving folks here a heads-up.

On the plus side, you have a bunch of communities already open that just need some more moderators & descriptions/rules set up, lol

One good thing about Reddit, you could make a stupid community and it'd never go away. But it never caused anyone a problem either.

My solution is admin approval before community becomes listed. And some guidelines about conditions for approval, which are applied fairly.

Conditions for community removal should be pretty extreme, and also fairly applied.

Infinite Anonymous accounts should always be a thing, but rules could limit community creation to accounts with realistic behavior, that have enough activity to not be alts.
