That doesn't really say much, the most active video games community on the Threadiverse are !gaming@lemmy.world or !games@sh.itjust.works and have thousands of monthly active users.

I'm pretty sure !videogames@piefed.social at a different level

Everybody in this thread is aware AtomicPoet doesn't like being called 'bro', that's the reason of the whole debacle.

He has stepped down from his mod position, which is a better outcome than 99% of the posts in this community.

Then people still come at him with this kind of comments.

IIRC, AtomicPoet has autism, the comment above is the equivalent of bullying the autist kid who struggled to understand social norms at school.

Interesting. Subscribers aren't usually the best metrics to assess a community, as ghost accounts are still subscribed, active users is usually a better one.

Was that necessary?

Two of them had around 500 users, another had about 250

Weren't those the ones you brought over from the previous Friendica server where you built those communities before coming to piefed.social?

That makes sense, good luck until then!

do think creating one that’s just good would be a good idea

You could give it a try

To be honest I feel like in your case it would be acce to ban systematic downvoters

LW is still a third of the whole userbase, SJW is in the top 5 instances, for an alternative community to emerge it needs to be accessible from LW and SJW.

Maybe there should be a new "uspolitics" community elsewhere

!politics@beehaw.org

!politics@sh.itjust.works seems a better fit, Beehaw isn't federated with LW or SJW

If a community gets large and this happens, I feel they fracture when they move.

They don't, what fractures communities is having similar communities active at the same time.

!television@piefed.social is the only single active community about television, it is much more active than !movies@piefed.social as !movies@lemmy.world is still open, giving https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload/ to posters, commenters and subscribers
