There does seem to be a lot of pushback around bots recently. It might be worth reaching out to discuss with a wider audience eg. !bots@lemmy.world or similar

Have you considered doing a top community of the week/month/year thing? You could reach out to community mods and alert them they’ve won “Top Community of X period based on <Growth>”. Keep a pinned post detailing current “winners”. It would help advertise this community, and it would encourage other communities to be more competitive/pro-active in appealing to new users.
That’s how doubt works.
Nothing wrong with reaching out.
I think splitting the post into sections dedicated to specific metrics might help. You could keep WIP metrics live but as different sections. For example…
Top N By…
Growth Percentage: <this would be your current metric> … … …
Absolute Number of New Subscribers: <eg. trendingcommunites +5000 new subscribers> … … …
Trending Formula (WIP) (Link to post detailing formula): <this is the formula talked about in a different comment> … … …
Etc.
I think that grabbing the easy metrics and offering them up initially will be more beneficial to growing your own subscriber count than trying to work out a clever way to do just the one thing.
Love the idea though, I’ve posted about this community in a couple places and I’m thrilled to see that it’s taking off a bit. Great job!
I agree with this. There’s some problems that need to be addressed. Hopefully sooner rather than later
