A lot of subs never really got a foothold outside of Reddit. I tried to do what I could and I'm still trying my best but I'm only one guy and I'm not good at making content. Barely anyone from the BrandoSando subs came, the incremental games community gave up before it even started, no community that I know has had a successful offshoot in the fediverse.

Reddit didn't start that specific, the best thing to grow Lemmy is be active in broad communities, not brandosando but books. When books grows large enough then a sanderverse community can be spun off, but trying to be over specialized just dilutes the users into small inactive communities.

Actually we're enthusiasts of both Marlon Brando and sandwiches.
