How comes engagement is so low on lemmy.ml lately? (feddit.de)

A couple of months ago there where 30+ likes on meme posts etc. Nowadays it seems like posts on beehaw.org are upvoted more than lemmy.ml.

Did this change come with the latest lemmy update that gave everyone those language errors?

going by the Federation's data, there remains a large gap—but beehaw is definitely one of the most active lemmy instances at this point and is definitely getting some cross-pollination from the main instance. (we're also the top-recommended instance on join-lemmy, i think)

Yeah but that doesn't explain where to or why the lemmy.ml users left. Did they all join lemmygrad.ml? Did they all just leave Lemmy?

I'm guessing Lemmy is also going through waves of activity like Mastodon (and ActivityPub microblogging in general) was going through before the recent series of Twitter meltdowns. A bunch of people try it out, activity goes up, people lose interest and go back to Reddit, activity slows down again...
