Are there other communities we should try to consolidate?

It came up in our previous discussion on Star Wars communities:

[email protected] - active
[email protected] - inactive

Both this duplication and the Star Wars ones seemed to happen because the original Mods became inactive and there isn't an easy way to add in new Mods and/or a reluctance to meddle with someone else's community (I've added plenty of new Mods on feddit.uk so it is doable where there's enthusiasm).

I suspect some digging would uncover other examples on l.w (as it's the largest instance) especially as you see a lot of communities started during the enthusiasm of Rexit and then the Mods wandered off and have been MIA for 7-10 months.

Did you try pinging [email protected] on the inactive community? They locked the two ones I mentioned above so it's probably worth a try

I have that, we did discuss it with an l.w Admin the other month, so I presume it's on their radar.

Feel free to remind it to them, sometimes this kind of things fall off the radar

I'll give them a nudge when In make the Star Wars post, hopefully tomorrow.
