Someone created the ChronicPain community and then abandoned it. I have messaged this person with no response. They haven’t posted, commented, or anything since they made it.

It’s probably a widespread issue but ChronicPain is a support group for those who suffer from it. Is the only real option to create a second one or can someone who abandons a community be removed?

The way Lemmy works, a bit like Reddit in the end, the server administrators own each community more than the moderators, so yes, they can remove a moderator and put in a new one.

If that doesn't suit you, unlike Reddit, you can create your own server or simply switch to another one.

The more I learn about the fediverse the more advantages I see. If something goes wrong it's actually possible to move to another instance.

Can the creator of a community move their community, along with all the posts and comments, to another instance?

I don’t think those migration tools are written yet. But I would imagine they are on Lemmy’s roadmap.
