Are you thinking about a community? Because instance doesn’t really need posts, it can be purely a user instance with no communities. If you mean a community, then yeah, it happens for various reasons:

• people think they can attract people to it, turns out they can’t
• people sit on good community names to be part of the mod team in case someone wants to pick it up
• personal problems causing people to have less time to moderate
• possibly many more reasons
