Community Revival

279 readers
1 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 ;)

Not interested in moderating either community, as I don't know nor follow sports enough to be of much help, but thought it would be good for those interested to have a general community like games/gaming for any sports.

A community like this could help act as onboarding to other more specific sports communities along the way.

Both communities are presently moderated by people that haven't been active in three years and two years respectively.

!sports@sopuli.xyz
!sports@lemmy.world

Also I'm aware of a couple other general sports communities, but they're on a widely defederated instance (Hexbear) and a more withdrawn instance (Beehaw), so they're not all that suited to it. Strangely enough the big sports instance Fanaticus Social doesn't have any such community, otherwise it might be a solid option.
