A new one appeared at pretty much the exact moment you commented, ha ha.
They're not automatic atm, 'cos of site upgrades throwing things off, so it's when I remember to run it manually. Should be back to automated soon, hopefully.
Where does this data come from? I keep expecting !hobbit_art to show up since it jumped from 50 users to 155 users in just a couple of weeks. I'm pretty proud of it, although I do wonder why some art gets lots of upvotes and other, quite amazing art, doesn't. But, I'll figure it out in time.
It's the daily growth that determines whether a Community appears on one these lists. So Hobbit Art (which looks great, btw) hasn't been eligible for the past two days 'cos they've been under 2%. For previous subscriber bumps it was out-competed by other Communities who's daily growth was higher, and/or was more reflective of a 7-day trend.
Edited 'cos feddit.uk's upgrade to 0.19.2 skewed the stats. They've stabilised now, apparently. (That poor "we're all quackers here!" bloke is never going to get a break)
When/If lemmy.world 'upgrades' to 0.19, I'll increase the minimum threshold for active users. I'll also start excluding communities where the growth is mostly coming from negative engagement.
