Although usually the tide rolls back down for a while with one of these Septembers, as some newbies just don’t click with their instance for whatever reasons. Still, it seems inevitable that it will tip over that threshold, and stay there, one day.
It looks like a lot of the new accounts are on Lemmy.World (PieFed shows an icon next to usernames when the account is <2 weeks old:-), so I expect sometime in the next six months to see them move to another instance. Like Discuss.Online if in the USA or feddit.org if in the EU, etc.
End of an era 🥲

I had to switch instances 3 times before I found one I was okay with.
That’s about how it went for me. This is pretty much my home instance, but I also keep an account on a more local lemmy for chatting with the townies.
Also experimenting with my own instance. Still workin out the kinks.
