    What’s with that blip of increased activity at around July 2022?

      I forgot what happened exactly on July 2022 (US politics). Could they be Trumpers looking for a new home? Yes, it was repulsive to type that.

        No trumpers ever made their way to lemmy that I know of, besides a small instance that closed a couple months back. That might be when GenZedong was quarantined and the tankies migrated to lemmygrad, not entirely sure.

      Best guess… Maybe the last time Reddit pissed off their users?

        I wouldn’t expect such a sharp dropp-off at the end of it again though, even if it was temporary black-out or something, I’d expect there to be more of a trail

      I would guess some instance got federated and defederated again. But don’t take my word for it - just a guess.
