I think this is zerobytes.monster, one of the reddit mirror instances.
the post count fits and it also matches with the user count not significantly dropping.
that instance has been using rather strict waf blocking rules from time to time that likely also affect the crawler for fediverse.observer.

I missed your reply weeks ago, and I know upvotes are worthless, but you deserve most of mine from this thread =P
Its been a long time since I have actually seen crowd sourcing actually work in a non exploitative way to solve a problem, be productive.

Yeah, I thought it must be a Reddit repost instance, thanks for pointing to the right one.
