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
I think there’s another factor affecting your specific community growth and interaction. Here in Texas, it’s still blistering hot outside. Once it cools down, many of us in the hotter locations will start geocaching again.
That’s a great point! Here in Canada I’m already nearing the end of my caching season. Maybe we’ll hear some stories from Texas soon!
