This 100%, honestly what lemmy/mbin needs is a clean up of dead communities. That were created and abandoned during the reddit api exodus. As well as the active communities that are just a bot posting content from reddit and nothing else.
I think the software should start hiding/marking them in some way
I don't expect they will all be deleted, and I don't even think it would be good to delete them because there could be a chance they start getting activity
True i like your idea of marking them. Just when people join a community i hate that they have wade through a mess of discarded clutter. To find the good places.
Might be a good point to create a github issue for on the lemmy repository

Yep. I've said this before, but I don't understand how a community that only provides links to external communities is supposed to help Lemmy grow, as opposed to taking people away 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah it's like with the AI Gen posts. If they are not willing to put in the effort to post something real. Why should I put in the effort to engage with their content.
This please. It’s totally fracturing and also misleading, especially in cases when the dead community has the highest # of subscribers!
Yeah cause everyone joined but then abandoned their accounts we need a secondary value for date of last post
