It's really interesting to see so many communities move to piefed.social. I've always been a proponent of spreading out the fediverse though, shame it's all the flagship piefed instance. Is there a generic piefed instance that isn't .social?

!WomensStuff@lazysoci.al has lost members recently idk why. From what I gather from other comments, the subscribers figure yoyos. We're still doing well though and I'm helped by some brilliant people.
I've taken over !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world and I'm looking forward to expanding and growing that.
As someone who does not subscribe to WomensStuff, so I only have general advice for you:
- If you or your instance (still forget the specifics) is opted into Lemmy Federate, then the bot drops a subscription when a real user subscribes. If that real user unsubscribes, I'm not sure the bot picks it back up.
- People deleting their accounts or getting banned from an instance, perhaps? Not sure if banning from an instance drops all the user's subscriptions there.
- Fatigue or dislike with the posts there.
- Maybe just plain old federation issues? I know I have a community where my subscription is still pending, because the instance has massive federation issues.
It happens. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it drops a good fraction and stays down.
Ahhhhh nice one thanks 😊
