Why can't lemmy mods or admins clean up dead communities like askhistorians and others? I know they have a hard job and everything but we need an active user base to make lemmy to thrive.? (lemmy.world)

I was never sure what triggered reddit's archive of a post. I mean even just this year I had someone send me a reply and I had no idea what they were talking about. Looked up the post, it was over three years old! And when I asked them about it, they said they knew it was old but chose to reply anyway. Some people just have really boring lives I guess.

Not sure how that would relate to a boring life.

I comment on old stuff and I wish my life was more boring. My life’s adventure simply will not stop.

Yet I find old threads and comment on them. Not sure what the connection would be.
