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)

Do you not feel the same is true with Reddit?

  • Downvoted perfectly good and reasonable comments. Some are the correct answers because you know a lot about a particular thing in the world.

  • Downvoted perfectly good and reasonable submissions

  • Reddit mods shadow banning your submissions/comments

  • Reddit mods deleting your submissions/comments and/or locking them.

  • People in general just being asses.

I'm not saying that Lemmy is perfect but it feels like both can have a similar vibe. A lot of Lemmy people were/still are Reddit people and so it makes sense that both have similar vibes.
