At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    thoughtful. my issue here is while a community is nascent, isnt building maintaining an honest reflection of the community important?

    I have joined a few tiny locally communities based on one post/comment. I may never return and the community traffic is irregular.

    in a situation like that I can see a mod pruning me away for zero comments in a year. however that is a form of censorship. so its back to the default of mods run their communities as they wish and, if you disagree find/create another community or instance.

    thanks for the thoughful comment.
