User buelldozer is squatting on quite a few communities and "reserving" them for Reddit mods
There are a few regional ones that I'm sure some would love to see thriving, but I'd personally like to see an active SexOver30 community for those of us who are not spring chickens anymore. I know others have been removed for similar behavior.

This is very reddit-centric thinking, but it's not how the fediverse works.
About a month ago in the lead up to the reddit exodus a lot of people (myself included) were thinking this way. As in "whatever niche subreddit needs a new home - which instance is going to host them".
The reality is though, there's going to be a dozen small /c/SexOver30 communities on different instances. If you want to participate just subscribe to all of them. When you're interacting with your community it just doesn't matter what instance a specific post is on. Over time the better moderated fragments of your community will become more popular and the others less so - or they won't, and that's fine too.
I understand how the fediverse works. This is a support community for the specific instance Lemmy.world, not the entire fediverse.
Sure, sorry mate - I didn't mean to imply anything, just relaying my own learnings.
You're good. I think a few are misunderstanding my intentions. I do have an alt on a much smaller instance, and I know how all of that works. But lemmy.world is my primary instance, and in the interest of this specific server, squatters and inactive communities aren't a good thing. Admins here have already asked that they be reported so they can be removed.
Just curious. What's the purpose of an alt account in the fediverse? Just wondering if I'm missing something.
I don't have a big reason. I signed up for a secondary account on a tiny instance when lemmy.world was having trouble. I like the more close-knit feel, but I was also already kind of established here. So I just have both now.
