    Based on what I’ve seen, much of this could be from instances with redundant accounts shutting down.

    In other words, a lot of folks can’t sustain the burden of hosting an instance long term. That’s fine, and expected.

      ee lacked admins, and some funding? that was the only problem. or some of the others they got burned out trying to do it themselves.

      Redundant accounts wouldn’t count as active accounts, so if an account was dormant for a year prior to lemm.ee shutting down, it wouldn’t register as an “active user” on a monthly check just because lemm.ee was still active.

      Especially since drama is more personal with the volunteering and donating.
