Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community.

I managed to get in contact with the creator of the community (same username on reddit). I don't think he's coming back to lemmy. He's offered to delete the community if that frees up the name for us to create an identical community on lemmy.world. I don't know if that's possible or if the community can be transferred to another user instead.

Staying on lemmy.world seems like a good idea imo as new arrivals will gravitate towards that.

Anyone have any ideas of the best way forward? Anyone fancy being an admin/mod lol?

Edit: He might not be permanently gone. Just coming back every once in a while.

Here's the conversation if anyone is interested.

I'll vouch for PoppinKREAM as a fantastic mod candidate for whatever it's worth.

Considering how active they were on /r/soccer, I think they’re a great choice.

(Assuming it’s not someone else who claimed the username hahaha)

Unless it's a phenomenal impostor then based on demeanor and posting style I'd say it's the same person.
