We thought we'd start a new series letting you look behind the glass on our Communities.

Every week we look at how Community Feeds have performed to better understand what people on the Fediverse want to see and what they like to post about.

Last week, the @biodiversity Community Feed caught your attention leading to a jump in Feed followers! 🦆

You can see all 62 of our Community Feeds in this thread: newsmast.social/@newsmast/1118…
