Wow. I knew Lemmy far outweighed other software on the threadiverse side, but that's actually pretty comical. *waves to the other weirdos*
kbin.social had a lot of users, but its death killed its popularity. Barely anyone moved over to Mbin instances.
That makes sense, the most prominent instance and upstream project dropping off probably shook a lot of confidence at a time when a lot of people were looking for a reliable Reddit substitute. I wonder where they mostly went, between Lemmy and back to Reddit. Personally, I went from kbin.social to fedia.io, but clearly I'm not representative.
Lemmy would be my guess. Not thinking the people who left reddit would go back for any reason, especially with reddit getting worse by the year.
