    The linked post has some analysis of Reddit’s loss off traffic based on SubredditStats data. I noticed the same trends when I was looking earlier but some of the drop-offs look so dire that it made me think that maybe the data collection broke. Any idea how they get their data?

    Edit: there is some discussion of this over at !RedditMigration@kbin.social too. lemmy.world link to that thread.

      Idk, I kind of believe it. When I go back there through a search, there are tons of deleted users and comments and everything feels stale or maybe bots.

      Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago.
