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)

Are they getting rid of old.reddit???
That’s the only thing that makes the site readable. Damn.
“e.g.” is short for “exempli gratia”, which is latin for “for example”.
It hasn’t been announced that they’re getting rid of it, but it’s a good example of what Reddit could do to fuck up.
I never actually looked this up before. I think in my head I’ve been reading it as being short for “eggsample” this whole time
I thought “example given”
A much more reasonable assumption to make
They haven’t said they will, but they might some day.
