For me the biggest issue is user engagement and missing communities.
I enjoyed /all to see news and discussion about that news, which isn't really a thing on lemmy yet.
And i enjoyed small communities for the discussions and posts which are also not really a thing on lemmy yet.
I agree, I get excited seeing one comment in some of the smaller communities and then it's always that awful tldr bot.
The automatic bot posts need to go away as well imo.

Nice.
I hate the bots that just repost from Reddit and don’t allow comments in the repost.
Why even subscribe to that at that point?
Yep. The graph above shows the significant drop in active user, meaning there's gonna be even less engagement if this goes on. The drop in total user maybe due to some small instance just vaporised, which usually caused by lack of active user on that instance and the admin just pull the plug. After all, why spend money on something people don't really use?
The country instance i'm in, for example, had goes from 30± daily active user earlier last month to 12± daily active user, likely due to people migrate to bigger instance, or gone back to reddit/somewhere else. With most admin team missing or barely active, including the head admin, this instance will vaporise as well.
