DisappointingIntro

Not for me. Attempting to scroll down does nothing either

I think splitting the post into sections dedicated to specific metrics might help. You could keep WIP metrics live but as different sections. For example...

Top N By...

Growth Percentage: ... ... ...

Absolute Number of New Subscribers: <eg. trendingcommunites +5000 new subscribers> ... ... ...

Trending Formula (WIP) (Link to post detailing formula): ... ... ...

Etc.

I think that grabbing the easy metrics and offering them up initially will be more beneficial to growing your own subscriber count than trying to work out a clever way to do just the one thing.

Love the idea though, I've posted about this community in a couple places and I'm thrilled to see that it's taking off a bit. Great job!

I had a brief read through the article you linked. I'm frankly shocked at how relevant it is. I never considered how widespread the problem is in reality. It goes so much further than just reddit. An extremely interesting article for anybody curious, I'll be dedicating more time to reading it in its entirety this weekend.

Thanks very much for linking it!

That's interesting - can I ask where you're seeing those stats?

It's something I thought about. But as you said the exposure to search engines is key.

[email protected] is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities

Sure that would work just as well if not better

This doesn't work for me. Tapping once causes the image to close, not just the overlay.

Edit: Follow up on this. I found that if you zoom in slightly and then tap, the overlay will disappear instead of minimising the image. Not exactly as you described but I believe this was what you were referring to. A workaround for now but certainly not an optimal user experience

Wonder what book it was

Came here with the same idea. The ability to sync a selection of subscriptions between different accounts would be a fantastic extension to this feature.

While lemmy.world was experiencing issues with the recent vulnerability I signed up a 2nd account with a different instance. Not having the subscriptions from lemmy.world is a pain, especially after the last few days of collecting subs.
