Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.

I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don't think he's coming back to lemmy. He's offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don't know if that's possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.

Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.

Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?

Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested.

Best course of action is to show proof of that conversation to an instance admin. They should be able to help out.

Yeah admins can transfer ownership of communities. Ruud might be too busy with the servers on fire at the moment though. Ideally we'd have a Community Requests sub like on Lemmy.ml

I think this is the best approach, rather than starting a new comminity and resetting back to zero again.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested. I don't think asking an instance admin is the right thing just yet.
