    Doesn’t matter if they’re dead and their core supporters get discouraged. There are a lot of posts that are just by a dozen or so people with little engagement. That is not sustainable.

      Yes it is. I’ve been on forums with ~20 or so active people and it lasted for years.

          It doesn’t have to be active like reddit right? Or even like Lemmy was around the blackouts? A community can remain active even without federating with lemmy.world. People can still sign up for Beehaw and see their posts from other instances (like feddit.uk or the canadian one).

      Beehaw’s been around for like 2 years. They’ve specifically designed their instance to be a small, heavily moderated community. If anything, the massive growth they were getting a month ago was unsustainable with their existing ethos.
