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)

I mean this place only really seems to have activity in meme pages, porn, and news.
Feels more like a well behaved 4chan instead of a well behaved reddit.
There is !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl to discover new ones.
But I mostly agree, you have to look up for content outside of those 3.
I tried to revive !personalfinance@lemmy.ml , !casualconversation@lemmy.world and !moviesandtv@lemmy.film, but that’s harder than planned
yeah I’ve been using the lemmy explorer and most places are just one person posting into the void with no additional interaction.
Indeed…
