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)

I already feel like I have to keep sticking my neck out to get them to question if using the ORM and a dozen JOIN statements isn’t a problem… but I guess I’ll link it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3900
As stated on my Lemmy user profile, I’m “RocketDerp” on GitHiub.
Honestly, the reason I keep making noise is because I’m sick of Lemmy crashing all the time when I come to use it… and I am on many servers that this happens. I really am not trying to piss off the developers, I even said I felt like I am being hazed, and I feel like hazing in general might explain what is going on with how much they are avoiding the elephant in the ROOM that ORM and a dozen JOIN might be the cause! Let alone the lack of Redis or Memcached addition being avoided, that’s a second elephant on the second floor tap-dancing… GitHub Issue 2910 was the straw that broke my back weeks ago, it took months for them to address it when it could be fixed in a couple hours (and it was weeks before the Reddti API deadline at the end of June… and issue 2910 was neglected). The whole thing was a nightmare for me to watch…
Dude, chill. Even if you’re right, having a meltdown on github doesn’t help anybody. Go outside and take a breath.
I’m glad for you that mental control is so trival and you aren’t near death in your life from your brain damage.
I just got back from dinner ant the months of hazing I’ve witnessed hasn’t gone away. The level of social games being played with PostgreSQL in this project are levels beyond anything I’ve encountered in my 50+ years alive. And I’ve first hand seen Bill Gates and his team do all kinds of odd things to groups.
I am at a total loss to explain why such fundamentals of basic relational database are avoided in this project. If it isn’t social hazing, what is it?
You’re putting too much importance into this matter. If this is distressing you should let it go and think about something else.
The apologists come out of the woodwork around here who can’t see an SQL statement for what it is, a charade. Anyone who has worked with SQL knows that this is bloated SQL statement and poorly engineered.
I notice the scientific facts of server crashing and SQL statements you won’t discuss, but you sure dish out the social advice for me to “move along” like a Jedi mind trick. Let’s talk about the human attraction to truth and honesty since you are so great at handing out life advice to people. What do you know about the works of Marshall McLuhan on media?
Repeating: Its’ as if the mere concept of Redis or Memcache never existed… and that nobody ever heard of JOIN performance problems. If it isn’t extreme social hazing, what is it?
your comments there are exceptionally aggressive. you accuse the developers of “hazing” you when they disagree with a technical decision you’ve made, and then insult them, posting wild rants. i’ve seen you do this many times. you need to step back, relax, and not take technical feedback so personally
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 😄
I’ve stepped back and watched them ignore the issue since May when all the servers were crashing. Every single Lemmy server was falling over while they ignored the PostgreSQL problems.
The mistakes are obvious and huge. These are not minor topics.
I think they are hazing the entire World Wide Web, Reddit users, etc. How else can you explain such basic SQL problems that they have allowed to go on for so long?
