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)

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.
Yeah, still we lack variety because our algo doesn’t do a good job of promoting smaller communities. I’d like a lot more niche subs get more popular rather then our few dozen or so that have gotten big, which is still a good thing don’t get me wrong.
https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities is pretty useful!

That I agree with, the other thing that kills me is multiple communities of the same topic just in different servers.
Same here, I think I’ll open a thread about that in the coming days
V true. I will say seeing the same post across 5 instances does make me feel like I’m going crazy sometimes so I guess it’s a tradeoff xD
