So I was looking for a community to post a link to and I came accross:
What are our thoughts on this, and do we have a way to release such communities if that's what's wanted?

So they created a Lemmy community only to refer you back to Reddit and also send you to their Discord?
On one hand, that's a shitty thing to do. On the other, it puts the admins in a tough spot (and almost seems like a trap). There was a lot of uproar during the Reddit protests about the admins taking over / handing over closed communities that went dark in protest. If the admins here do that in this case (or similar cases), I expect similar backlash.
That said, I'd be in favor of the admins transferring the Lemmy community to someone who would actually grow it.
Totally different situation regarding admins. One was a community they built, this is a foreign land they stuck a flag down and declared theirs, and abandoned it.
