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 a personal opinion, but I would also be happy to see some groups spread on different communities to decide together on one community and make it grow together.

    Browsing /all and seeing still another book or gaming community first post always makes me question if that post would not be better used in an established community.

    And I know this will happen naturally overtime, I guess sometimes I would just like things to happen a bit faster and on a organized way.

      I personally don't mind having multiple communities on different servers because some of these servers go down... a lot.

      Makes sense to have "backups" sort of littered throughout the Fediverse, imho. I like seeing what different groups have to say about the subjects, too. Like, a thread will be wildly different on lemmy.world and beehaw.org, because I'm fairly sure beehaw is still defederated with lemmy.world, meaning I'll see very different groups of people on each instance's community.
