Is there a process for assuming control of defunct communities?
I found one I'd like to use with no posts at all, and the one mod hasn't had any Lemmy activity in 7 months or so. I PM'd him, but I'd be surprised if that message reaches him.

I guess you can contact the server admin(s).
If it's an abandoned server the instance is living on then well it might just be staying up because it hasn't yet been shut down.
So no at least I don't know of any other way to gain admin access to a community than to contact the server people.
Mind share what community it is?

For fans of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.
There's a lemmy.world support community where they will be able to assign you as mod if you ask.
From what you've said there shouldn't be an issue with taking it over.
Is my post not in that community?
Yes, your post is in this community indeed ! Please try and read the head post here :
"LW Support - Please read before posting (Updated 18-10-2023)"
I do believe it contains guidance to answer your question.
Oops, yes 😳
