It feels like it's dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn't defederate and then left anyway when we did.

I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.

Is this just a illusion or is this really what's happening. What is to be done?

I might make amends to the Dessalines and the mods at Lemmygrad now that the dust has settled, but I don't think this place is dying.

But it needs to promote itself more, otherwise the turnover can get bad and people leave.

More new faces spurs people to stay as well.

Oh yeah

I once accused the mods there of being biased when they banned me and angered people here when I said as much.

I think it's natural for people to come and go, but I think lately there has been a hell of a lot more going and not a lot of volcel-kamala which is maybe the big problem.

True.
