On Lemmy is it usually safe to create ones own community to post their own stuff on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic? Or should we just go to the larger communities. To reduce spam. I feel like one side to this is obvious and the the other side is, to create communities to increase competition.
As long as you’re happy supplying all of the content, and realize that other people may not come to your community to post new content, then it’s totally fine.
Like if you’re really eager to talk about things, but you don’t want to flood a different community, more power to you
Right now lemmy is so small (a few hundred daily active commenters), I think everyone just uses the ALL feed anyway.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!
FYI lemmy.world has over 6000 daily users, 15k monthly. You could roughly double that to estimate the amount for Lemmy as a whole.
Sure I know the stats say that… But I don’t see them posting or commenting.
over the last 24 hours, I can see 4,878 active contributors in our db. 785 unique posters and 4,550 unique commenters.
expanding this to a 30 day view, this gives 20,821 contributors of which 5,648 posted and 19,625 commented.
this is excluding bot accounts.
