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)

Interesting to see you don't like Sync (I don't either, but people seem to like it overall)

I used Reddit Sync for about a decade before switching to Infinity for Reddit, tried giving Sync another go after the Lemmy version released and it just felt wrong whereas the Lemmy fork of Infinity is a joy to use (and is FOSS)!

I prefer Infinity too, but was a huge Infinity fan so I guess it makes sense

I actually haven't tried it but now I'm going to so I know if I dislike it or not. I can't be in the dark on this!

First impression is that the UI isore customizable and I can get closer to RIF which looks way better to me. I haven't even logged in yet though but at first glance I don't hate it. I guess I need to check liftoff too though.

Liftoff is very solid too
