Community Revival

110 readers
19 users here now

This community is for discussion of dead communities and the planning of reviving them.

What should a post/comment look like?

A post ideally would be mentioning that community, what value it could contribute to the fediverse, how much dedication it would take and approximately how many mods there should be, and a call for volunteers.

A comment should be a suggestion, correction or volunteering.

What is a dead community?

A community which all mods are inactive for more than 3 months, and the modlog has had no activity for the same time.

Please ping all the admins in the comments too, this is necessary.

Rules

The rules are very simple.

  1. All posts must be about a dead community. Meta posts should be marked [META]
  2. Be nice.

... i will work on the icon/banner later ;)

I would not like to mod this community but i will open this thread for all who are interested.

It's been inactive (modlog n all mods) for a year.

I'd say it only needs 1-2 mods, since it's quite low maintenance. I'd assume there wouldn't be a lot of traction for such a small niche.

To all that are interested, start organizing with each other down below on taking the community.

My mistake!

This community is not for directly requesting communities, they're about discussing their revivals. So for example multiple users would volunteer in this thread, and then they'd plan to take the community with each other.

This community is meta but it is like notifying people of dead communities that could potentially be valuable (even if niche)
