Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?
moeggz@lemmy.world 7 months agoI agree with this, but I think many subscribers are from accounts that are no longer active.

I’m not sure if the mod tools make this easier, but you could measure a community’s engagement by taking the total number of upvotes/downvotes comments for all posts, and dividing by the number of subscribers in the community. This would at least be a measurement to quantify a decline or steady state over time. Obviously perception matters, if people feel like a community is dead, they’ll leave, and it’ll be a self fulfilling prophecy.
