There was one called Homophobia that got like 50 members after being created like 10 minutes before. And of all things, a community about homophobia. With a drawing of a Confederate beating up gay people.

I’ve seen a few reasons.
New communities are created, a very specific and relevant post is made(which is likely the reason for making the new com), and it rides naturally through new/hot/all.
New communities are made as a direct discussion in a com or instance so people already know where to go as soon as its made.
And then some are made as alternatives to others due to conflicts so there’s a side that stays and a side that leaves to the new com immediately.
