I have little interest in being a mod, but I see the issues you're describing as a user and I've given them some thought.
You can create a community with a similar name or switch instances if you cant get your instance admin to help. For me, the frustration isn't so much with unmoderated communities but abandoned ones, especially on larger instances.
Fixing that seems simpler, as adding a toggle to hide inactive communities should hopefully not be controversial and it could be implemented by the client. Please?
It will be interesting to see how things evolve, as a solution is clearly needed but federation poses some interesting challenges especially since deleting posts should be discouraged.
Kbin has this figured out, they now have an in-built community request system.
A community for this works. For example !community_requests@lemmy.ml I think. Just needs someone to request and someone with access to respond. For that, it doesn't need to be built in. Long term, it's probably a handy feature though.
