Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?
Skavau@piefed.social 18 hours agoWhen instances close, users tend to just disappear (as when Lemmy.ee closed down). The Lemmy.ee users seem to have just disappeared instead of migrated to another instance.
I suggest you look at the piefed activity indicator for more context here.

Yeah, that makes sense. Though still Lemmy.ee’s closure is a drop of ~4500 monthly active users while piefed only totals ~1700 monthly active users in total.

Oh yes, it has some impact - but the slow decline of Lemmy instance activity has to be contextualised with whats going on Piefed (and to a lesser extent: Mbin)

Kbin exists as well, unless something changed since the last time I looked.
But one thing is for certain: The whole field isn’t growing right now.

Sure, but it's not at the level of decline some doom about here. It's mostly stable.
