There is a drop in monthly active Lemmy users (from 65k to 57k)

Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de to Fediverse@lemmy.ml – 782 points –

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)

The problem is that Lemmy never hit that critical threshold of users where I can just stop using Reddit.

Like one of my favorite subreddits - gaybros and askgaybros - zero activity on the fediverse, so I'm going back to Reddit for that.

Yeah, if the sub was fairly small on Reddit it's basically non existent here. I'm using both Lemmy and Reddit for now, hoping lemmy gets some good traction.

Same. Half my reddit activity was on r/femboysDM and sissykik2. How is lemmy gonna replace those??

Lemmynsfw.com is getting some traction.

But yeah, otherwise that's very true for a lot of niche communities.
