I’ve been plugging away for about 2 months now trying to grow a small hobby community here on Lemmy. It’s doing well, up from 200 to 425 subscribers in the time I’ve been active.
But, sometimes it feels discouraging. I’m still the only one who posts with any regularity, and I miss the more in-depth discussions I was able to have at the other place. How long, or how many subscribers, does it take for a community to become self-sustaining?
Edit: !geocaching@lemmy.world for anyone curious
Just commenting here so I can check responses later…
You can also save the post without commenting, and check it later. When you’re done, just remove it from your saves
Sure, but I always forget to check my saves. And also, adding a comment increases the priority in active/hot sorts, increasing the probability of getting other responses later.
