It feels like it's dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn't defederate and then left anyway when we did.

I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.

Is this just a illusion or is this really what's happening. What is to be done?

I actually like scaled sort as it boosts smaller but active communities. Hot, New, and scaled are all relatively similar.

Yeah, I didnt call it out as I havent used it much, but I like the idea of it. I just dont think it matters that much on hexbear if you arent subbing to small, federated, on-topic comms
