Community Revival

224 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 ;)

Yes, they are a lot, but if everyone goes for what they like, we may end up reviving some of them :). There's also;

No problem, i have the same problem a lot with my communities, too. I think it'd probably be best to either be with c/piracy or a retro gaming community, since it's probably a niche on lemmy.

I see... Is there already a retro gaming community on dbzer0? If not, maybe I could try reorienting the sub to be a more general retro gaming community? But that still doesn't solve the problem of tying it into the subject matter of the rest of the site without posting links discouraged under the site's policies (though I'm not sure how well-enforced that is)... Maybe discussing emulators and advancements in them as well as... Maybe information on new dumps bimonthly or something? Perhaps another issue is the fact that [email protected], already fairly niche on this site, is still the de facto retro piracy sub on here judging by how popular it is compared to [email protected].
