    Or a whole server just vsnishes like kbin.social. Account, crested magazines, participation in the fediverse…poofed out of existence in an “instance”.

    They generally go unmoderated until someone steps in to take over, or if the community gets abused it will be locked until someone steps in.

    Largely the same as if they just disappeared and stopped logging in. The community would become abandoned and unmoderated.

    Reddit had a system where you could request banned or inactive communities, Lemmy instances don’t usually have this, instead requiring you message that instance’s admins directly.

        I mean really any instance can do it, it’s as simple as creating a community to request other communities. Most just haven’t chosen to do it, unfortunately.

            That is actually a pretty nice feature. Would be great if we had it here. Though it isn’t explicitly needed, request communities are also a good solution.
