Community Revival

205 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 ;)

I'm going to probably request access for it, but if you want to mod it too, feel free to comment.

Check with the Admins, but it might not be the instance for that community.

I've been thinking of lemmy.zip too, might fit better since it's about PC gaming. I think steam@PD should be fine, since it was acknowledged by the admins (since they explicitly put the vacant user as a mod, so they want actual mods for it)

What is the purpose of this community? Isn't [email protected] or [email protected] enough?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Those are both about games, [email protected] is about steam itself. Updates/bugs/sales about steam specifically

While I personally have never had issues with non-political subs on .ml, we're at a point in time where subs hosted there is a contentious issue and more and more people have started outright refusing to participate in .ml subs. So it's probably best to create an alternative option.

True but .ml faces a couple of problems (mainly moderation and centralization, yet again) it's probably for the best to go either with lemmy.zip or programming.dev.
