  My guess is a lot of people came in saw that Lemmy was kinda dead a lot of the time but suspected it would continue to grow so they left it temporarily to go back to reddit while they waited for Lemmy to catch up

  Yeah i did something similar, though mostly bc i was confused about the whole instance thing. Made three or four accounts over the first few days. I kept forgetting the password, or didn’t really understand what an instance meant, or how to log on via Connect. Now that’s done with, I just stick to one account

  I did it too. I had like 4 or 5 accounts and used 2 or 3 actively until recently if my main instance went down. Now I’m just using 1.

    I’m moving to lemm.ee personally for similar reasons. I’m keeping the dotworld account as backup and may be creating communities here.

  This is me. I bounced between a couple of instances before I settled on lemm.ee; I also am generally a lurker because I don’t want to comment or post unless I know that it will generate quality conversation.

    I’ll personally post as long as it’s relevant. Ideally it’s an interesting comment but not always. I stay away from reddit-type inane comments with no substance, though I’m sure they have their place here as well.
