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)

Ha ha :)

Same feeling here, browsing All now is cumbersome due to the low quality of the average content dropping

Yeah, so that's why I'm expecting way more alt hopping and defederations and people splitting into smaller groups soon until everything finally settles.

One of advantage of the fediverse honestly that it prevents powertripping mods, since it's so easy to move to another community on the same topic on a different instance with different admins and mods, and while a person can be banned off a particular comm or instance, they can't be banned from Lemmy as a whole, so reputation matters a lot more right now when everybody kinda knows each other here.
