I’ve come across some inactive communities on instances other than mine. A few I’ve thought would be worth restarting but I’m not sure how this works on Lemmy.
Alternatively, I thought about starting a new community under the same theme and growing a community there but, again, I am not sure if everyone is free to start a community or if it is something that you have to gain approval of your instance first.
Unofficial? Don’t do what that person said. Follow the advice of others and request the dead community.
Officially? No.
I found that most dead communties’ moderators are also MIA. Kinda tough to request a dead community when nobody’s answering…
