Recently, every time I click on a “Trending Communities” link there’s an entirely empty community moderated by the @[email protected] account.

What’s going on?

What’s the motivation?

    I clicked on the account name you linked:

    If this account is moderating a community that means it does not have a mod team (and is currently admin run)!

    If youre interested in modding it feel free to reach out to @[email protected]

    What are you confused about?

        Just guessing, but:

        If they’re new:

        This way it exists and people can post there

        If they’re old:

        A now inactive account likely made them, but that person no longer uses Lemmy. If it wasn’t “taken over” it would be unmoderated. Consolidating those under one account is easier on the admin and let’s people willing to mod know they can request the community
