The ones highlighted are a few examples. I’m going through. World communities so I can federate them with our instance and I’m coming across a lot of these.

They are communities with generic names like ‘Green’ and the communities have zero posts and don’t even have a Community description either.

What’s the deal?

There’s also no mods listed, how weird

    If I had to guess, at least a good fraction of them are communities people duplicated after the initial Reddit exodus. At that point there was a lot of people trying to establish communities directly carried over, but if they failed to launch then they’ve probably been left to rot.

      I think that’s a fair assessment for some of them. But these communities came up when i sorted by active, so that’s weird they’re recent it seems
