Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It's easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?

There is a bot on feddit.nl that lists the daily growth of communities across instances:

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

It’d be awesome if those fixed link was clickable. Not sure if it’s just an issue in Memmy.

Memmy seems to be one of the only apps struggling with that format. For browser and most apps, the exclamation point format is the best way to link.

On the web, /c/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is also clickable.

Even if someone from Kbin links to a magazine (their term for a community) it will link it, too. /m/trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

It should get fixed in Memmy soon. Even on desktop browser they only starting with v0.18.0 of the web client.

Not sure if a percentage growth of subscribers is the right metric - a growth from 1 to 3 subscribers looks much bigger when expressed in %...

I visited one of the communities listed, and it literally only had 3 posts - a welcome one and two pinned ones. All by the same author. That's not exactly what I'd call a fast growig or trending community...
