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?

    Don’t worry if it grows slowly. Niche communities are the best thing about Lemmy. Better to have a small loyal community than a big one flooded with crap.
