The context I was trying to show that growing a community with continuous progress is different than taking a community that is shrinking, stopping the shrinking, and then causing positive growth.

I agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I appreciate all you admins here, I really do. Far more transparent than from Reddit and you do it all without making profit.

The pinned post to Lemmy World sounded like (to me) that you recognize a lot of people signed up, made communities, and then have abandoned Lemmy leaving a lot of ghost communities that you all want to clean up. Totally understandable, especially with all the legal considerations about leaving online spaces unmoderated.

It just got me thinking about how Lemmy has changed, and how I really want it to succeed. I can try and follow this suggestion, but I almost feel like for a lot of the more niche interests, Lemmy will sort of just be in a holding mode until Reddit inevitably fumbles the ball again leading to a new migration, this time with a more clear destination.

Yeah I figured go/baduk would be a hard community to start, which is one of the reasons I chose the Chiefs.

But this isn’t just the difficulty of growing a community from a small start, this is seeing a community grow then shrink. Going through many niche communities the post rate and comment rate seems down across the board, outside of the biggest communities on the site. Combatting a shrinking community seems even more difficult than growing from a small start.

Swipe from the edge of your screen. Starting in screen is the upvotes, a swipe that starts off screen takes you back.

It does? Like I can do that from this post to get back to my feed right now.

In case this shows up in anyone’s search,

It persisted for hours but a few hours and about five times reinstalling the app it started working again.

And with Voyager it was just added.

This is amazingly fast!

Y’all are amazing!! Thank you so much!

Yup! Don’t want to seem ungrateful! I love this app and how far it has progressed. Just sharing feedback of things that would make it even better.

Ok I changed my password after fears of a hack. I could get in once in like 5 attempts on the website but would randomly be kicked.

I made a backup account and added it as a mod in the one community I’m in just in case but it seems better now.

So changing the password may work. Or maybe the website was just being funny for a bit.

Edit: that seemed to fix the website but the app is still crazy buggy. It logs out when changing view to posts or basically any action like trying to comment.
