question about the subreddit before the reveal of fox in the galaxy movie and the new game

Im tryna gauge how effectively his inclusion in the mario galaxy movie bolstered enthusiasm for the series so for the folks who’ve been here for a while, May I ask just how active was this subreddit and how many visitors did it have before all this recent hype and excitement? I’m kinda fascinated with how much talk there is about the franchise as a whole and I js wanna have an idea of how insane it really is
