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.

    FYI lemmy.world has over 6000 daily users, 15k monthly. You could roughly double that to estimate the amount for Lemmy as a whole.

        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.
