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 see very few memes and far too much political content. Of that political content it’s all the same.

That's funny because the meme subs still far outpace posting from politics subs for me, and I mostly see memes.

In fact, a few weeks ago, there were lots of complaints in meme comments of how the only thing they saw on the site was memes.

Maybe I need to be on ml then. I feel like world is just full of the same.

I quite like beehaw and their communities, and yeah, you're missing out on those if you're on world, from what I understand. (Fairly sure they're still defederated.)

I personally like lemmy.ml, but I know it's not for everyone, and the admins would prefer to keep it a smaller instance, I think. I'm only here because there weren't as many federated servers three years ago when I made an account.
