If you look at the communities tab and sort by new, more communities there have 0 posts than have more than 10 posts. It seems like people are just making communities for the sake of having something to control, without any interest of actually contributing. Often times the communities are opposing, so it’s not as if the mod actually has knowledge or an interest in all 6 sides.

Is there any discussion behind the scenes on a way to curb this. or is this not a concern at this time because lemmy is still small?

    Good afternoon, I went through a bunch of those, and anything that was inactive for an extended period of time has been purged, free to be recreated by someone willing to take it.

    There are some communities that are effectively unmoderated but with some content, of course we don’t want to purge those and we’re looking at what is the next step.
