It’s a good question and the answer isn’t set in stone.
There’s certainly no rush in deleting them or anything, which is not the plan if there’s content in it.

The main thing here is we’d rather have at least one mod for every community.

I said delete, which was more hypothetical than anything… but there are different Lemmy terms with different meanings:

Honestly, what happens to abandoned, empty communities would likely be a case by case thing.

If there’s literally nothing in it, purging could make the most sense.
If there’s old content and subscribers, but otherwise just stale, it would likely stay untouched.

Why touch these at all then?
It’s mostly white noise in the way of people searching for communities with content to subscribe to.
