@JPthePirate has created their account 2 months ago (like many redditfugees) and created 40+ communities, only to never log back in. The communities are for the most part empty and completely unmoderated - and a lot of them are “brand names” like the names of videogame studios (!bethesda, !blizzard, !devolverdigital, !activision) and somewhat popular videogames like !cultofthelamb and !diablo4.

Would it be possible to delete the ones that are completely empty anyway so that users who actually want to do something with those communities are able to create them from scratch?

    What’s there to mod until there’s some content and users to mod?

    And moderating is more than just deleting posts for whatever reason. Banner, sidebar, rules, news, featured posts, advertising the community elsewhere, interacting with different instances etc. is also part of that, and a mod that hasn’t logged in since the day they created their account is not doing any of these.

    All of this has to be done before user-generated content shows up, or at least soon after. What the communities got instead, are 2 months of inactivity.

      They need content to work with, can’t put lipstick on a non-existent pig.

      A lot of active communities have non of those things you mentioned… so how does that work…?
