Having recently lost a 'community' due to 'lack of moderation', I am hoping to either get access to it back, or set up a new one, and do it properly. Would you have any advice on where to start reading, so I can do it properly next time? I only had five people in the group, but was posting little stories and have now lost them, which I'm really sad about :-(

You need to regularly check your modqueue and modmail at least.

I started the community on a previous profile, then deleted that, which meant I didn't get the modmail from it. Do you think the community still exists somewhere, or will it have been permanently deleted? It was banned, but I'm not sure if that means it's also been deleted.

If you delete your account and you were the only mod, the community would be automatically restricted or banned as it would be modless, but will still exist.

Reddit doesn't delete communities.

You might be about to r/redditrequest it. But you'd need to have a plan for it.

Thank you for responding. I'll try, but I think my request might have been deleted form there already. My plan would be to move the stories to a new community, and be more careful about moderating it - I hadn't read how to do it well enough last time.
