You're right, I've been thinking of how to handle empty communities for a while now.
I've seen some people saying they can't add banner and icons on their communitie because the image upload is broken sometimes so I'll give them the benfit of the doubt. But once lemmy is stable enough we'll make a post that a community with 0 posts will be purged after a certain time (a month perhaps) has passed.
Ummm, what about my artwork sublemmies? I created lots of them and I'm gradually populating them over the time. Because of my current workflow I can't prepare content for them in parallel so I'm kinda forced to leave them temporarily empty before I can move onto working on content for them. :x
Maybe you could post a little introduction/welcome text post on the communities you want spared.
As long as there was warning, that seems like a good way to spare small communities that haven't gotten off the ground while getting rid of squatters who aren't interacting at all.
Good idea, hopefully I will remember it when the time comes.
