Or did a lot of people leave
I was just going through my followers and the vast majority have a reputation lower than 25 and haven't posted in 5y or so. That is much longer than the last crypto boom, it probably pre-dates the crypto crash in 2017-2018.
I have also noticed that my home feed isn't updating very fast and even when I explore all posts there isn't a lot there.
Who has the dirt
If you see this, and have a theory of where the people are (I'm still getting auto-votes and curation trailed so the votes are there) let me know in the comments.
I mean, if there is no community here I will probably just syndicate from other places that get comments and/or just post pretty pictures that I find when I'm browsing Flickr and add small blurbs. Flickr doesn't get the love that it deserves.
