Oh shoot, I meant the above for @[email protected] actually, i.e. OP. I don't believe you had replied to me at any point, hence that wasn't meant for you.

That said-- I'm not too sure the "90:9:1" rule applies so well to the FV. For one thing, it seems like a good number of subscribers tried out Lemmy (etc) at some point and then went back to Reddit (etc), meaning they're no longer really here. Another point is that since the FV moves a lot more slowly than Reddit, I question whether FV users are as active here compared to other places.

About the bias of me seeing only part of Small44's community numbers due to filtering by my own instance-- you're right of course, but after double-checking their overall global numbers, they're actually only a tiny bit larger. Ironically or not, most of their users came from my own instance (lemm.ee). So their numbers across three communities are really too small to ever be properly viable IME.

So something like the kbin worldnews community I mod has literally thousands of inactive subscribers.

Geez, that's... not good. :S

Ah, that makes more sense if it was meant for small44. The only reason I thought your numbers were out was because I thought you were talking to me about my communities.

Geez, that’s… not good

It's not ideal, and kbin did fork. In my opinion it was not the dev's fault, it wasn't even really a beta when he suddenly got swamped with reddit refugees. But I believe in his vision.
