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.

    Also: please please please enable [Link](http://a.com) in community titles e.g. for meta-community reference. :hugging face:

                I clarify: it is the title of #italia referring to #italy or #italiano, e.g. see the first line in card-body:

                1. it is:
                  1.1. Italia - go to #italy or #italiano
                2. I expect:
                  2.1. Italia - go to #italy or #italiano

                  This uses markdown, so all links have to have the full link. I’m really unsure about re-working the markdown engine to do auto-parsing like that, I’d rather just have explicit markdown links.

                  Mastodon doesn’t support markdown which is why they have to do weird things like that.

                    I also tried this community title w/o success: Italia - go to [#italy](/c/italy) or [#italiano](/c/italiano)
