It’s been a while since I last seen anyone posting graphs showing user base growth. Are we past the initial rush and bleeding numbers now?

I think a lot of the imaginary communities were on one of the .ml instances so are currently in suspended animation. That domain shutdown was really badly timed…
Otherwise, it’s the standard problem that only a small % actually post and Lemmy is much smaller. I do think that a better/fixed hot algorithm would help with post discoverability for smaller communities though.
( I mod a niche imaginary community for the Cosmere book series(es))
Yeah, I don’t think asking communities that are already fairly small on Reddit to create the same community on Lemmy was a good idea.
For something like this it’d be best to start with a single community for the whole broad topic (like, ImaginaryStuff). Hell, Reddit used to be a “single subreddit” originally.
