Community squatter? (lemmy.world)

So, I just kinda stumbled into one of the communities here (/c/casualconversation) and noticed it was empty, nothing in the sidebar, but figured it wouldn't hurt to make a post & try to help it out.

Well, uh, I happened to look at the moderator's profile and XeNoX has apparently been pretty busy making a load of communities here. Technically nothing wrong with that, and I'm not super familiar with lemm.ee's rules regarding this, but I thought it might be worth giving folks here a heads-up.

On the plus side, you have a bunch of communities already open that just need some more moderators & descriptions/rules set up, lol

Yeah, it's really unfair and wrong that the admins don't take away those empty instances and stop letting people squat on them. I've been trying to make instances in earnest all day only to discover that most of them have been taken by squatters like XeNoX. That's not right.
