Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.

I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don't think he's coming back to lemmy. He's offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don't know if that's possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.

Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.

Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?

Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested.

Honestly I think that is an excellent idea, and at some point someone (like football365) would probably pay a lot of money to take over it (yaay!). Theres a classic Catch-22 - lemmy doesn't have the critical mass to bother spinning up a dedicated server, but if it's not done now/soon it will be too late. I'd love to help, but don't have time.
