Do we have a problem with squatters? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don't even have rules or a description).
Will there be some kind of cleanup or will it stay there until someone asks to take over it?

The proposed idea here seemed to be to defederate instances which have no interactions happening in them. Where would that leave me as my instance would be empty just for my account i use to interact with communities in other instances.

One of the main benefits i hoped to get is that i am not dependent on admins to make choices outside of my control (like beehaw defederating) and instead i can defederate based on my own will only. but if my instance gets auto defederated because it appears empty then there is no point.

Nope I think you misunderstood. OP is asking about inactive communities on lemmy.fmhy.ml itself, inactive communities on another instance has no impact here. You are welcome to create your own single user instance, it's infact encouraged in fediverse to balance the load.

Oh that makes so much more sense. Thank you for your help!
