This fits my own prior experience of the life cycle of a community -- but when my previous community failed, a fragment of it broke off and rebuilt itself in a few form. That fragment still exists as a coherent tribe more than a decade later, and I still love it even if I disagree with certain, uh, technical decisions surrounding the splintering process.
So it's not impossible.
Oh, indeed - fragments or even whole (slightly altered) communities live on. Two of my prior identity-tied groups are still meeting and going strong, they're just not producing original research or even super-deep discussions on their topics. I still have fond feelings toward them, but I don't participate enough to consider them part of my identity.
This is primarily a reminder to myself that this is okay. I can enjoy LW for what it is rather than lamenting what it was.
