Claiming an inactive subreddit became a business channel
A Reddit community with 43,000 members had no active for more than a year, which made it eligible for a new request under Reddit rules. Reoogle was used to find communities that still had active members but inactive teams.
One of those communities matched the niche exactly and had zero active . Evidence of inactivity was submitted to Reddit, and approval as the new top came within about two weeks.
After that, the community was handled gently: welcoming discussion, being helpful, and sometimes sharing relevant material from the owner’s own project. As activity returned, people noticed, and in the community increased.
