How long to grow a community?

I've been plugging away for about 2 months now trying to grow a small hobby community here on Lemmy. It's doing well, up from 200 to 425 subscribers in the time I've been active.

But, sometimes it feels discouraging. I'm still the only one who posts with any regularity, and I miss the more in-depth discussions I was able to have at the other place. How long, or how many subscribers, does it take for a community to become self-sustaining?

Edit: !geocaching@lemmy.world for anyone curious

  • Geocaching! Yes, it's a very niche hobby that I'm obsessed with, but I really miss the discussions in that subreddit...

    !geocaching@lemmy.world is still mostly me shouting into the void, although it's been getting better lately. It'd be awesome to hear other people's stories, if they're out there!

  • I am trying hard to get !geocaching@lemmy.world going, although I'm not a mod myself. Subscriber numbers are growing, but it's still rare that someone else posts. I just try to keep plugging away at a sustainable pace. Luckily I have a repository of pictures and stories to share, which dates back several years
