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)

That's like saying everyone that lives on 123 Main St is the same regardless of the city or everyone with the email "Bob" is the same regardless of what their email provider is.

    Lemmy has nothing to do with email. I'm sick and tired of this incorrect analogy being used to explain how Lemmy works and people stubbornly not understanding why it's broken because of it.

    If you think it through, what you're asking is that the communities will exist only on one server. That's Reddit with extra steps.

    Goober, I am literally not asking that and yes this is very similar to email. My home instance is programming.dev. We are both still talking. I did not have to make an account on lemmy.ml to respond to you here. I did not even have to go to lemmy.ml to see or respond to this post. This community does not "exist only on one server" by any means.

    Yes because we're in a server default subscription. A server decided list of viable communities, probably a list shared across the fediverse. Again a gayekeeping system by the system elites

    We are in the !fediverse! community, only big one that exists.

    It's double centralization. This is recreating Reddit.
