MODERATORS
 

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

navigating to this community from programming.dev, i see that there are only 73 subscribers. Clicking on your link get take to a page that says 6.27k subscribers. Any idea why there is a discrepancy in. Is something with federation going wonky?

seeing a community from another instance shows the amount of subscribers from that instance. Only the original instance shows the total

so 73 people from programming.dev subbed to this community

Looks that way. Often you can get hundreds of upvotes for the most engaging content which wouldn't happen without the thousands of subscribers.
