Why can't lemmy mods or admins clean up dead communities like askhistorians and others? I know they have a hard job and everything but we need an active user base to make lemmy to thrive.?
Agreed. Also, having the same, duplicate forum on several instances makes it easier for users to move to a new forum in case the original one gets ruined by power-tripping mods. When people search for it, the number of subscribers the forum has will show which one is the "official" one.
