When I joined, just a few days ago, the number of users at lemmy.ca had just climbed above a thousand. I see that now it's well over two thousand.

That's quite the growth!

I think for more niche communities we need more people. My interest in a Reddit like community is not technology, memes and world news. It is all my very niche hobbies.

and if you noticed how those niche communities formed ... they started out with two or three people that just liked to talk about stuff they liked, then it took months and years to gather and create a whole community of dedicated followers and contributors.

give it time, everyone here has just arrived, we've dusted off the shelves, swept the floors and we're still prettying up the place
