Being a newcomer and seeing as there is an increased amount of users migrating from reddit I wanted to see if there is one, or create a community.

I have found that the community going by country name, has only one user, one mod and that mod is flagged as banned.

Additionally, they are the sole moderator of similar communities by name as to somewhat gatekeep them, I supposed.

What is the course of action from freeing up these communities? Or is it just better to create a new one in another instance and be done with it?
