I finally joined yesterday to a niche (academic) community that is moving from Twitter. 18k migrants in the 30 hours since it opened up with virtually linear growth. I can search other similar niche communities and they are seeing similar growth.
It's not seeming like much of a desert, and is just starting to benefit from network effects as some of the more known members of the community announce their moves.
