What's with all of the empty communities being created? (programming.dev)

Recently, every time I click on a "Trending Communities" link there's an entirely empty community moderated by the @Vacant@programming.dev account.

What's going on?

What's the motivation?

Trending communities is scuffed and doesnt actually show trending communities. Usually if theres a new community made within the last 2 days it shows there otherwise it shows the most dead communities as they are getting large subscriber activity relative to their MAU

Vacant collects a lot of different kinds of communities ranging from unmoderated ones that havent been taken over yet by a new mod team to ones that are admin started to start getting some content on that subject (usually if thats the case ill be posting in it on my other account)
