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)

Yes, I’m familiar. I’ve been following Lemmy development for several years, as part of research for fediverse.party. That’s the background to my comments about the algorithm determining what appears on a Lemmy front page.
If you’re proposing that there’s a more complicated algorithm at work, what do you think it is?
