It’s been a while since I last seen anyone posting graphs showing user base growth. Are we past the initial rush and bleeding numbers now?

    Yes! I think we have many communities that are either:

    • way too specific
    • carbon copies of identical topic on another instance

      Carbon copies are actually quite of an issue on the long term. It is difficult to understand the best one for a topic unless one visits many of them.

      Also because the number of subscriptions that one sees is only from their instance

        As someone who mostly lurks/occasionally comments and someone who likes to view hot/active posts from all communities, repeat posts from similar communities in different instances is something I find really annoying. I’ll see the same post four or five times as I scroll. It can make things feel really empty to see the same things more than once.
