Have you tried promoting it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world ?
You can also suggest the mods to create weekly discussion threads, those are quite useful to keep the community active

Hello, thank you for jumping in!
Lemmy probably limits those to posts and not comments, and expects comments to have pictures in the comment body
Indeed
Weird indeed, but at least you can see images
We Distribute needs a lot of help in getting to a healthy place. We need help with writing, editing, social media direction, and A/V production. We also need assistance with securing funding through donations, partnerships, and grants, and need to finish the work in establishing We Distribute Media as a 501c3, which was work we initially started in the beginning of this year.
/s for people in doubt
I think the observer shows daily and monthly stats for the active users per month and active users per half year so the active users per month wouldn’t change as fast I think.
Indeed, I was remembering it wrong, you might be right!
Also about it being a botfarm I do think that is a possibility. Actually there is much clearer evidence for it when you see extend the graph to 120 days and see a huge uptick in users and servers at the same time. Edit: 2024-7-29
Definitely
The Fediobserver has daily and monthly stats for active users. I assume daily indeed follow daily variations. You also saw those huge bumps when LW updated and started counting votes as activity
But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.
There's only so many communities you can maintain active with 45k monthly active users
And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth.
Why do you think we don't?
Fair points.
About the name, I still got quite a few reactions that told me there was no way they were going to browse daily a site with shit in the name.
What do you think about Lemmy.zip?
