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

    Maybe community name scalpers.

    When a service goes from “nobody will probably use this” to “this might get big” and it has unique naming capabilities, some people register a lot of them to eventually sell them off.
