Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It’s easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?
There is a bot on feddit.nl that lists the daily growth of communities across instances:
This is probably the best answer I will get. Thanks for that :)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl
It’d be awesome if those fixed link was clickable. Not sure if it’s just an issue in Memmy.
it’s clickable on web at least
Not sure if a percentage growth of subscribers is the right metric - a growth from 1 to 3 subscribers looks much bigger when expressed in %…
I visited one of the communities listed, and it literally only had 3 posts - a welcome one and two pinned ones. All by the same author. That’s not exactly what I’d call a fast growig or trending community…

I agree that would be nice to have. There’s “Trending communities” on the main page, but I soon realized they coded that section as “today’s activity level vs. the average level”, which means brand new communities with only one post and no comments were being shown as “trending” since today’s activity is infinitely more than the average for a community that didn’t exist before today.
