What can be done about people who create a community and then abandon it? (lemmy.world)

Someone created the ChronicPain community and then abandoned it. I have messaged this person with no response. They haven’t posted, commented, or anything since they made it.

It’s probably a widespread issue but ChronicPain is a support group for those who suffer from it. Is the only real option to create a second one or can someone who abandons a community be removed?

This is my understanding - federated sites push out their content, so just like a new post will propagate into any place it is subscribed, a deleted community/magazine will also propagate (and I suppose remove the subscriptions? Just as housekeeping). I know I've seen that is how removal of prohibited topics would work, so it should be the same.
