Community Revival

63 readers
37 users here now

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 ;)

So not sure the process on transferring communities across Lemmy but since some unforseen issues mean I can't mod as much, I'm looking to transfer ownership. If anyone knows the steps or is willing to get things going then message me and lemme know.

I'm also willing to do that with all the ones I got but UpliftingNews is the biggest one and I don't know how many I can send at once.

Sure. I got a buncha communities I mod that could use it though not sure if one per post is better or if just gathering what I can into one works.

Try to bundle as much as possible, like into topics. For some extra valuable communities like HL, mirrors edge, firefox css and consoles - feel free to create independent posts for these.
