Im a noob. How do we find these communities? Are there lists, are there ways I can query?

Community Revival
101 readers
23 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.
- All posts must be about a dead community. Meta posts should be marked [META]
- Be nice.
... i will work on the icon/banner later ;)

MODERATORS
Oooooh, I had a similar community idea but with a bigger scope that also covers recruiting moderators and exchanging moderator positions to have a better moderation coverage. I haven't touched the idea because I have other things on my head and will have for quite some time and I'm glad to see that someone came up with something similar.

Sounds like a perfect topic for [email protected]. Feel free to post your thoughts and ideas there!

If you mean for dead communities we already do that, posts are for planning revivals which includes gathering volunteers for modding. However if you mean for alive communities, that may be out of scope but some mods, despite being active neglect their communities anyway. I will see about this

By the way, do you want to be a moderator for it, since you had the same idea and i don't have too much free time right now?

I'm too busy with [email protected] because I'm indexing the communities and there's a lot. Besides indexing I'm (chatgpt is lol) working on a python console tool to help me with managing the directory and I have a low priority feature idea for fetching data on the latest activity of mods. This would be used to determine if they're active or not to make managing a project like this much easier. This wouldn't be anytime soon if I was to actually get something like this implemented.

Excited for it, gl with the directory :)
