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)

Sorry this is unrelated, but how come your username says @null? Just curious

For me it says @[email protected], not @null. Clicking on your comment's Fediverse button to take me to your instance still shows the same.

Huh that's odd. It must be an issue with Sync related to them posting from a Mastodon instance.

No idea. Maybe a bug in your app? Maybe something to do with the fact I'm posting from a Mastodon server rather than Lemmy server?

Oh right it must be an issue with Sync for Lemmy, someone else responded saying your username doesn't say that for them. Thanks for the response.
