Our instance and communities have continued their slow and steady growth.

Gained 30+ Subscribers

[email protected] leads the way again this week, up to over 250 subscribers. We're starting to see new people posting here too which is great and highly encouraged.

Gained 25+ Subscribers

[email protected] is up to 135 this week with the second largest growth. This community continues to see success with the help of several others around the Fediverse. We recently merged with another community for better discoverability but even before that things were popping off. With several regular posters, weekly trading events, and some goofing around it's quickly becoming one of my favorite places on Lemmy.

Gained ~15 Subscribers

[email protected] saw fewer new people but user activity is way up. The community is now over 225 subscribers and several new people are posting new music pretty much every day. There's no telling what we might be listening to, come check us out!

Gained ~10 Subscribers

[email protected] is just shy of 70 subscribers this week, seeing a slight uptick in activity/posting as the various categories get going for the spring/summer. The theme here is very loose, if there are categories you're interested in that don't have a home on Lemmy you're welcome to post them here. High seas friendly.

Single Digit Growth

[email protected] slowed down a little bit this week. Now sitting at just under 150 subscribers I'm hopeful we'll see some new names posting their half baked meme ideas.

Good to see crazypeople.online still having steady growth.

Thanks! I've been quite chuffed with the local user growth over the last month or so. Several of the recent applicants have mentioned finding us through reddit threads or search engines which is great because it means we're getting exposure as a very small instance to people who've never heard of Lemmy before. I'm not sure what more we could hope for.

I feel like you also have a bit of an advantage because people who don't really care about lemmy might not care about an address like lemmy.zip, but crazypeople.online gets attention, as would ani.social from anime enjoyers like myself.
