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)

To be fair, I think he has a point.

The way to convey it is very much debatable, but the poor database performance of Lemmy seems to be what puts LemmyWorld down so often.

As LW is the biggest instance so far, it's a bit concerning for the potential scaling of instances

agreed. but lashing out at developers who are just trying to find out why the db performance is subpar with accusations of “hazing” is incredibly aggravating and antithetical to the entire concept of FOSS. there is a reason why almost every open source organization uses codes of conduct

As I said, very debatable 😄
