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)

There’s just not enough content posted, it takes several hours if not longer for top stories to pop up and that’s not even counting that I see the same posts over and over at the top for days. I get it’s smaller and such but it’s harder to really get into. I’m still here cause I’m not going back to Reddit but I just wish we could get more people in
We all have to start posting more content and interacting we each other. I prefer to use the filter with “Top past 6 hours”, you get to see more new content.
Brother you gotta post content
Which filter do you use, Active?
Hot and Top 6 hours / 12 hours / day might work better
After you scroll through active, use hot, use new, use new comments.
It’s not going to be a direct Reddit replacement after just growing its userbase to that of a small subreddit.
