I'm bringing one of my favorite reddit communities to Lemmy after seeing the current one isn't active. I'd love to get help tracking down brand new sentences across the fediverse to build a brand new, brand new sentence community.

Why not contribute to the existing one? !brandnewsentence@lemmy.world

I looked into it. The moderator is barely active and the community seems dead. With my own community I can curate and grow it knowing I can moderate.

That is not a dead community or inactive moderator by Lemmy standards.

You can help an existing community become more lively by posting or promoting it yourself.

11 posts and 34 comments over three years is not active by my standards. I don't want to post to that community so I've made my own.

The apparent lack of interest you're seeing is probably a reflection of Lemmy's size and the userbase's interest in such a community. Creating a second one is unlikely to help, possibly even making things worse by splitting the userbase, but best wishes to you.

I don't see a userbase to split, there is no content.

Regardless, the link is there so people can decide if they want to try to reboot a community the moderator doesn't even want to help build or maintain.

The existing one is definitely active, I recognise many usernames there. There's a bunch of recent posts too.

There have been six posts in six months and as you can see, two of them were mine, when I tried to reboot it - before I realized the community didn't have an active moderator.

The last post is from more than a month ago.

You can apply to be the moderator of that community if the mod is absent

Instead I made a new community on my home instance.

I wonder why people are complaining about me actively engaging and creating content for the fediverse. If you want to reboot the other community instead of arguing with me, it's linked right here.
