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)

Yeah. Since Reddit is back to normal, the majority of people who left it due to protest now returns.

[-] Ingvarr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there's even upcoming third-party apps to fill the void left by apps like Apollo (at least for a while).

What keeps me there and not here are some niche subs for music genres/subgenres and bands, and I don't see any of them crossing over to the fediverse until Reddit completely and utterly dies. It even seems like some went over to Discord and I'm not really a fan of that, but it's probably more lively there than here for my interests.

By normal do you mean the protests have ended, or they undid some of the unpopular changes?

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Why would they undo those changes. They did r/place, that should be enough. And yes, the protests have ended.
