It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

does this also block comments, or only posts? Sync has a similar feature, but only for posts, once inside a post you're still subjected to their comments. Which for troll communities is honestly the worst part

Connect for Lemmy has an option for blocking both. The comment still shows, but as "blocked by filter", which hides the content until clicked on, and can be re-hid.

IMO ideally there'd be two separate options. I want to block stuff like foreign language instances or some niche instances so that I don't see communities hosted on them, but I don't want to block the users from those instances when they post in other communities.
