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)

    Hopefully this works out, gotta get that first mover advantage in, then Lemmy’s only real celebrity will be recognized as the marketing genius that she is. :)

    I like Lemmy better when it’s when it’s nicer and quieter a month ago honestly.

      Are you the actual Margot Robbie? Seen your profile before, but just assumed it was someone who liked them and was capitalizing on the movie.

          And have the paparazzi scrutinize me over every single dumb comment I ever post here? No thanks.

          If I wanted that, I would have just got a Twitter with a blue checkmark, and I really don’t like Twitter.

        Well, the movie promotion ended early due to the strike, so I’m just shitposting and having fun here now.

        It’s good to keep plausibile deniability. I don’t want to get bad PR in case things don’t work out.

        No one will ever believe you anyways.

        No, they’re the mod of an android comm on here so obviously not her. I think the roleplayers from back in the LiveJournal days are showing up here cause you can still grab newish usernames to impersonate someone.

      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.
