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)

Summed up my feelings too. Reddit's larger communities were trash, but for really specific questions, it was unbeatable. Not to mention the fact that most Lemmy pages are either tech-related or tankie propaganda. There's very little in the way of active hobby/lifestyle boards so unless you're in either a nerd (non-derogatory) or a communist (derogatory), Lemmy's not got much going on for you

So true.

I have been trying to revive !personalfinance@lemmy.ml , !casualconversation@lemmy.world , even !parenting@lemmy.world but it feels a lot like shouting into the abyss.

There's a bunch of really niche subs I used to be on. Finding info on some of my old cars has been a bitch since I cut out reddit but it's taught me a lot about self-reliance haha
