It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren’t attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we’ll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

    It always dies down after the initial hype. It seems pretty stable now. Compare it to pre-exodus and it is still like hundreds of times more popular then before.

        This is one of the main things keeping a lot of us around I think. It’s not just repost bots of shit I’ve seen 5 times in a month.

        I feel that you underestimate how stubborn I can be with low effort comments. I’ve been making off color, not particularly funny attempted witty comebacks on BBSes, the Internet, and then the World Wide Web for longer than… Oh, it’s been since the early 90’s now. Lemmy is the latest stomping grounds and I’m not giving up here just yet.

      Been a little hard to get used to, but I’ve mostly transitioned over from reddit, like I went to it from Digg.

      Been using the Connect apk for my phone and everything seems pretty nice with it.
