Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won’t be active.

Honestly, a pinned post linking to the “big” community would go a long way. Basically just “this community is abandoned. Go try [active community] instead.” But that would require the mods of those smaller communities to actually cede mod power to the larger ones. And if you know anything about online mods, you know that’ll never happen.
Yeah, which is why I think it needs to be an admin thing. It’s posted automatically, but hey the mod can always remove it and keep the community going. But from what I see… 90% of them haven’t logged in in months and probably wouldn’t even notice. They log in again and want to pick it up again? Just remove the pinned post
@PM_Your_Nudes_Please or they could just simply delete the communities.
But abandoned communities tend to have absent mods. That’s why the Lemmy devs need to introduce a mechanism for adopting them, like we have at Kbin.
