What could be the consensus for a !privacy community that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world? (reddthat.com)

Hello,

For some additional context:

Lemmy.one was among the last instances on 0.19.2. I asked about it, which triggered their update: https://lemmy.one/post/13900606
Jonah, the main mod of the !privacyguides community, and single admin of the instance hasn't posted in the last 5 months: https://lemmy.one/u/jonah, same for the rest of the mods of that community
Their pinned post at the instance level is still the 0.19.0 update 6 months ago
The last moderation action in !privacyguides modlog was 3 months ago (https://lemmy.one/modlog/10)

So indeed, the name is known and that's a pro (I mentioned it in the top comment), but it seems like the instance and the community aren't actively looked after.

Edit: last point: the instance has 7k registered users for 230 active users a month, email verification was optional during registration, seems like people have been using it as a farmbot (registration has since then been disabled).
