I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?
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.
kbin shut down, mbin is the sucessor
Sure, but it’s not at the level of decline some doom about here. It’s mostly stable.
