During the "big move", I subscribed to a bunch of emerging communities.
Now that the craze has died down, lots of these communities have been abandoned for 3 months or so.

Are these communities worth preserving, or do they take up unnecessary space and could be removed?

Just genuinely interested, I'm sure other instances have their own methods of handling that but was wondering how it's managed here.

At least on Lemmy.world, users can post in their support community or send them an email requesting transferring ownership of an instance if it has been abandoned.

EDIT: It appears this is also the case here on lemmy.ml at !community_requests@lemmy.ml
