I remember people whining that lemmy is on its decline already. We are back and here to stay

    I don't think that initial peak was ever "real" anyway. I think it was due to people creating multiple accounts on different instances (or maybe even claiming multiple usernames on the same instance) before settling down with the one account they were actually going to consistently use.

    Definitely at least part of it was people who came to try it out and left (back to Reddit or wherever).

    And your case too. I also did it. But we'd be 100% speculating if either of us guessed which was more common and how much.

    Yeah it's weird to act like people were being unreasonable for pointing out that Lemmy was on a decline when the numbers quite literally showed a decline.

    And it's worth noting, no matter what the numbers say, the if users come here and it doesn't feel as active as the numbers suggest, that's still an issue.
