In this case, I have a theory. I remember a month ago people were posting a lot on Reddit and the !reddit@lemmy.ml community was extremely active. It was like group therapy for refugees. But now the new reality is setting in and people are actually having real and meaningful conversations, which means more lurkers.

So it doesn’t mean that active users are down per se, it’s just that it’s stabilised because people are mostly over Reddit.

I’m curious, why are you sick of Manjaro? I’ve been use it for 2 years and it’s been smooth sailing. Genuinely just curious.

Unfortunately, Discord can’t be replaced right now. All my gaming friends are using it and I don’t see any FOSS software that can replace it right now.

"Sigh*. I’ve been using Manjaro for two years now and I haven’t had problems. Everything always worked smoothly.

I second this. It sounds that you want a rolling release distro. Suse Tumbleweed is also a good choice.

Woohoo! I hope a lot of FOSS project have their own Lemmy/Kbin instance. Reddit, a capitalist platform, is no place for them.
