The context I was trying to show that growing a community with continuous progress is different than taking a community that is shrinking, stopping the shrinking, and then causing positive growth.

I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I appreciate all you admins here, I really do. Far more transparent than from Reddit and you do it all without making profit.

The pinned post to Lemmy World sounded like (to me) that you recognize a lot of people signed up, made communities, and then have abandoned Lemmy leaving a lot of ghost communities that you all want to clean up. Totally understandable, especially with all the legal considerations about leaving online spaces unmoderated.

It just got me thinking about how Lemmy has changed, and how I really want it to succeed. I can try and follow this suggestion, but I almost feel like for a lot of the more niche interests, Lemmy will sort of just be in a holding mode until Reddit inevitably fumbles the ball again leading to a new migration, this time with a more clear destination.

Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.

But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.

An angle that sometimes isn’t brought up is the land space required by different types of power generation. Renewables actually take way more space, and therefore way more of the environment than nuclear. Renewables have their place, but I think nuclear will always be with us.

Thank you!!

Yeah but I’m pretty sure we’re the bigger community so it’s now really beehaw that isn’t seeing most posts and comments.

Well maybe by 2030 we’ll be able to play the game.

It looks cool. A lot hinges on the gameplay trailer tho
