Everyone is allowed on the Fediverse. There is no mechanism for preventing it, nor can one be easily made. It's the responsibility of individual users and communities to decide what they do and do not want to associate with. Via defederation.

The lemmy.world admin could kick them and dissolve the communities for abuse.

If the communities are indeed abandoned, people wanting to take the moderator duty will be appointed by Ruud in case he can't communicate with the original mod, yes. That's what we did to bring /c/Minecraft back.

Is there anyone that needs to be specifically reached out to in order to have mods appointed to an existing /c/?

One of the instance's admins the community is on. Admins on instances are like reddit admins, they have the power to do whatever on their instance.
