It’s kind of funny how many 1:1 clones of popular subreddits were created on kbin after the big Reddit api debacle earlier this year that were posted in by like one or two people for a month or so, then just completely died. Some with hundreds or 1k + users subscribed.
Just seeing all of them in the abandoned magazine section.
@btp Yeah, it sucks to see how much #Kbin activity has dropped since the Reddit migration. Monthly active users have dropped from 45,000 to 5000. If you think that a lot of the 45,000 were alts, it’s still a huge drop compared to Lemmy (65,000 to 35,000). I think Ernest’s long absence was a big factor in the decline.
But even among the few who are here, there’s little posting outside of the big news and meme magazines (though that also goes for Lemmy communities). Not unique to the #fediverse by any means — there will always be way more lurkers than posters — but I really wish more people would contribute to the communities that they’re active in. #kbinmeta
I’m gunna keep sticking around and posting regularly for the time being. Still really enjoying the experience and communities that are still here.
