Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It’s easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

        It’d be awesome if those fixed link was clickable. Not sure if it’s just an issue in Memmy.

      Not sure if a percentage growth of subscribers is the right metric - a growth from 1 to 3 subscribers looks much bigger when expressed in %…

      I visited one of the communities listed, and it literally only had 3 posts - a welcome one and two pinned ones. All by the same author. That’s not exactly what I’d call a fast growig or trending community…

    I agree that would be nice to have. There’s “Trending communities” on the main page, but I soon realized they coded that section as “today’s activity level vs. the average level”, which means brand new communities with only one post and no comments were being shown as “trending” since today’s activity is infinitely more than the average for a community that didn’t exist before today.

    Maybe Lemmy Explorer will help? You can look at instances stats as well as communities. You can also change to Kbin magazines using the top right menu. It doesn’t have as much info, just number of subscribers.

    If we had an option to hide image/text/link based posts from our browse selection, especially ‘all’, then I think we would be able to find them by accident much more easily.
