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)

I dropped off because I am unbelievably sick of seeing the same thing posted across 20 different communities. No matter which sort I am using, my front page is CLUTTERED with the same crap.

You forgot "Fuck Cars". Just buy a bike you prick. It's only a 15 mile trek down a gravel road with no sidewalk.

"I can't believe how selfish you are."

"Just move"

"Everyone should live in this very tiny city that has good public transportation"

"Just don't have kids so you won't need to transport them" (Even if you already have them. Just go back in time and don't because cars are bad. O K.)

There should be an option for communities to form unions between them of some sort, or at least a client-side option to combine communities into a single big one

Never really had that issue. Are you referring to you sub feed or all? If the issue is all maybe start blocking the duplicates that you deem unworthy of your time.

The lack or rudimentary algorithms lemmy has compared to corporate social media is both good and bad. Less dopamine/doom scrolling but you also have to curate the feed a bit to make it work for you.

That makes sense, thank you for your feedback
