Sounds reasonable. It is a strict approach but ensures a healthy instance and less discussions.

Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
I like this policy as I think it also encourages people to post to already active communities. Instead of a bunch of communities being created then a few surviving, I would rather see larger communities develop, then smaller communities break out from them as interest in more nuanced topics reach a critical mass.
Hey db0, I think this is a great idea. But maybe give them a bit more time to grow. Like instead of 1 week, maybe allow 1 month from creation date. If there are no posts/users for the last 2-3 months than give them warning and if nothing changes remove it. Also having a a list of purged communities and reason why is good. This will give others a chance to see what is going on and why. And maybe eliminate clones.
Makes sense to me.
