    The removal of “left-wing” subreddits is what grew this place a lot recently

    So most people are centrist americans then? :( /jk RIP. Looks like Lemmygrad won’t be getting popular anytime soon.

      Popularity is a weird thing and can happen unexpectedly. You’d be surprised how often an internet-celebrity shout-out can attract thousands.

      The hard part is retaining users from a spike in interest, we need to have actual value to whoever arrives, like original communities, quality discussion or an attractive culture. Easier said than done, but in a rather civil place like this it should be possible.
