So, I just kinda stumbled into one of the communities here (/c/casualconversation) and noticed it was empty, nothing in the sidebar, but figured it wouldn't hurt to make a post & try to help it out.

Well, uh, I happened to look at the moderator's profile and XeNoX has apparently been pretty busy making a load of communities here. Technically nothing wrong with that, and I'm not super familiar with lemm.ee's rules regarding this, but I thought it might be worth giving folks here a heads-up.

On the plus side, you have a bunch of communities already open that just need some more moderators & descriptions/rules set up, lol

Hey, we have a process for taking over communities from inactive mods on lemm.ee.

Copied from our FAQ:

How can I take over an inactive community on lemm.ee?

Make a post in the community you want to take over
DM me (@sunaurus) 1-2 sentences about what your plans are for the community, and a link to the post you made in the community

If the community you want is really inactive, then I will be happy to pass ownership to you!

Loads of them are just duplicates that already have established communities on other instances anyway, so there's not even a point to it other than someone trying to get their name on things.

Ah, the nouveau "landed gentry" has arrived... :-)

I also find it interesting that the mod has created a community named after himself. Also, maybe there could be a rule that only members that have been already registered for some time can create communities? This mod account is still relatively new.
