Yeah, that makes sense. Though still Lemmy.ee's closure is a drop of ~4500 monthly active users while piefed only totals ~1700 monthly active users in total.
Oh yes, it has some impact - but the slow decline of Lemmy instance activity has to be contextualised with whats going on Piefed (and to a lesser extent: Mbin)
Kbin exists as well, unless something changed since the last time I looked.
But one thing is for certain: The whole field isn't growing right now.
kbin shut down, mbin is the sucessor
Sure, but it's not at the level of decline some doom about here. It's mostly stable.
Yeah, that's true.
What is a bit of a fact though is that Lemmy and the other Lemmy-likes are basically a set of forums and not a Reddit killer.
In fact, all of Lemmy's and Lemmy-likes' usage statistics combined are about comparable with the Crackberry forum or the LTT forum.
