Most instances have a community where users can request the moderator role for inactive or unmoderated communities.
As each instance names these slightly differently, I thought I’d create a thread to collect as many as possible.

Please comment below with equivalent communities and I’ll add them to the list.
Note: When requesting the moderator role for a community, it is best to do so from a local account (same instance as the community) rather than a remote account. Many people (myself included) have encountered federation issues with some moderation actions when using a remote account.
I’d suppose the most appropriate place for lemmy.cafe would be [email protected]
Thanks! Added.
Or PM an admin :)
Thanks! Added.
Jlai.lu is a very small French instance, in order to coral our limited number of users towards more active communities the admins had made the decision a while ago to put into a deep sleep state any inactive community. They very recently created this dedicated thread where one can request the reopening of any ‘sleeping’ community: [Meta] Demande pour les réouvertures de commu + modération
A side-note and a suggestion for anyone considering requesting moderation role of an abandoned community on any instance:
Based on my personal experience requesting the [email protected], I would suggest anyone to create an account on the concerned instance to administer that community. I can say that the admins at sh.itjust.works made no issue giving me full access to the community after I explained what I wanted to do with it, but even as a the new moderator with full access I had constant bugs and issues trying to do my job from my main account from my own instance (I’m French, so I was administrating that community from my jlai.lu account). All those issues, 100% of them, vanished the moment I created a new user account on the same instance I was trying to manage and gave that account full moderation role. I’ve also read other similar accounts of people facing bugs when they tried to moderate a community from a different instance.
A warning that may be worth adding in the OP?

Thanks, that’s an excellent point. I know Blaze and I (and probably others) have accumulated a suite of alt accounts because of moderation issues from remote accounts. I’ve added a note to the OP.
Super, thx!

Indeed
I had the same question but wasn’t sure of how I should go about asking. Thanks for this!
You’re welcome! Do you know if moistcatsweat has an equivalent magazine?
feddit.org has [email protected]
A community for adopting communities without active moderators or finding new moderators for your community.
Thanks! Added.
FYI: comm_revival is not an official dbzer0 comm. It is more of an “advertisement” of dead communities, or an archive.
For dbzer0 you either request it on [email protected] or the matrix chatroom.
Great post, OP! I’ll repost this to comm_revival if you do not mind 😄

Thanks! Updated.

I do not mind at all! Though keep in mind that as we update this post, changes wouldn’t be reflected in a reposted version. Linking back to this post might be better long-term.
[email protected] probably best for blahaj
Thanks! Added.
Looks like sopuli.xyz has used [email protected] for this.
I don’t think discuss.tchncs.de has a dedicated community for this, but [email protected] is the meta community for the instance.
Thanks! Added.
