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)

@lagomorphlecture @Oppawaifu what is the best lemmy client you think? or overall [[fediverse]] client?

[–] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Client as in app? I go back and forth between Connect and Voyager. They both have some benefits and drawbacks but overall I really just want something super simple and plain. I used RIF for so long and it was just to the point and functional. I never had a single issue with it. The lemmy apps will improve though. They've been developed fastly and furiously (haha) but it usually takes a little more time to put something together that's really good.

Yep a month ago the only Lemmy app was Jerboa. Now there are so many and they keep improving. My favorite right now is Liftoff.

Interesting to see you don't like Sync (I don't either, but people seem to like it overall)

I used Reddit Sync for about a decade before switching to Infinity for Reddit, tried giving Sync another go after the Lemmy version released and it just felt wrong whereas the Lemmy fork of Infinity is a joy to use (and is FOSS)!

I prefer Infinity too, but was a huge Infinity fan so I guess it makes sense

I actually haven't tried it but now I'm going to so I know if I dislike it or not. I can't be in the dark on this!

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enjoy ha ha

[–] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First impression is that the UI isore customizable and I can get closer to RIF which looks way better to me. I haven't even logged in yet though but at first glance I don't hate it. I guess I need to check liftoff too though.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Liftoff is very solid too
