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.
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.
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)
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.
