No worries, nothing to be sorry about, I was just concerned it might be due to the nature of the communities in question. Sorry if it came off as impatient (I am impatient, but that's no excuse to show it lmao). I'll take care of them and hopefully get them active. Thank you!

It seems like they just handle the requests here, you can find others that the admins actually responded to. And I don't think these would even be truly redundant since the ones I'm requesting are totally inactive (even though c/weed still allows posts, oddly, even though they have no mods).

I'll find another instance if Lemmy.World wants to promote and sustain stigma against drug users (the same stigma currently being used to murder people in the Caribbean), but the two communities I'm requesting were pretty slow even when they were still active. I'm concerned that, on a smaller instance, they'd get no traction at all. I'll give it a shot if it's the only option though.

I didn't, I figured this was the standard approach since they responded to other requests posted in the same manner
