There are a few regional ones that I’m sure some would love to see thriving, but I’d personally like to see an active SexOver30 community for those of us who are not spring chickens anymore. I know others have been removed for similar behavior.

    Even if they managed to reserve all of the relevant communities on every instance, wouldn’t it just take one instances admin to remove them from the community to start one there?

    And then you have a community that is open and available. This seems like exactly the sort of problem that federation helps prevent.

      Yes, you are technically correct that a community with the same name could be made on another instance. But this is the Lemmy.world Support community. As the largest Lemmy instance at the moment, why would they want their server full of inactive communities modded by squatters? It’s also my primary instance, so why would I want to create another account elsewhere just to make that community?

        You could still moderate it from your main account. Making another account is tedious, but easier than making this thread. Granted, this thread might be useful for multiple people and .world as a whole, so not really arguing against making this thread. Just that specific reason for not making your own community elsewhere.
