Want to get yall’s feedback on community squatting.
There are a good amount of communities with zero posts, comments, etc, as well as some users who have created communities but aren’t trying to grow them or even post to them in any way.
I’d rather have the creators of communities be someone who’s at least contributing to them.
Some options are, occasionally deleting communities with little to no activity, or limiting modship to a small number of communities.
It’s good to design for preventing people having idea to squat communities. For example,
A) We can create a community only at “Create Post” panel. It has additional option “post to new community” as community to post as well as existing communities. If user selects it, form to create a new community appears.
B) “Create Community” panel has fields(URI, title etc.) for the first post and they are required.
