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 actually think the web ui is fine but we all have our own blindspots. How do you feel about Alexandrite and Photon? I had good initial impressions of Alexandrite but some minor issues with Photon. Instances could just make those defaults.

What issues did you notice in Photon?

Oh man this is what I get for running my mouth. I'm not sure if my issues are reproducible or if I can even remember well enough to go about trying to reproduce them. I know that's not very useful and I apologize. I will say that I think a sans serif font option would be nice to have.

It uses your system font.

That's probably just broken on my system then because it is definitely not using my system font. I'm on a chromebook if that's useful at all.

Is it fixed on phtn.app? I pushed an update that hopefully fixes this. It uses system-ui so hopefully it isn't broken

Thank you so much for your work

Yep fixed now!
