I’m a bit confused at the explosive growth of Lemmy and the slower growth of Kbin. Do the stats reflect the reality or is there a problem with the data being fed back to the various stat hubs?
I know the difference is partly because Lemmy was a larger platform, and is better known but the growth of Kbin seems suprisingly flat while the community seems to be getting more and more active?
that’s a big part of it. people want something that just works, and they don’t want to leave the site to see the latest submissions/comments.
i’ve noticed that sometimes these magazines are actually fairly recent and you don’t have to leave the site—the server may be incomplete but also may not be. i’ve subscribed to a few from beehaw that say this and seem recent enough that i can use them.
but for sure this is not the case for all of them and it is a top issue that’s gotta be addressed if we want more users to hop on without skepticism
