The participation seems way down recently. What did I miss?

The irony is that those those that aren't here can't answer why they left.

Mostly making sure I didn't miss some new drama thing or whatnot. Usually those have peripheral observers that will speak up. Friday nights (SoCal) are kinda hit or miss anyways, but we've been trending down a good bit recently.

What communities do you check that are more quiet now?

I generally watch the total highest votes counts for top posts at 6, 12, and 24 hours to get an idea of the overall traffic patterns across all instances federated with dot world. I have several instance logins to help federate communities I create, but rarely use them. Sometimes I will use them to see if other instances have higher top post counts.

You're SoCal? One of the things I do miss about the other place was the Los Angeles sub. The one here is practically non-existent.

I'm just off the beach as far south in OC as you can get. If I had bot skills I'd crank one out to make local work. I probably could figure it out, but don't have the digital infra and footprint to make it and be sustainable. Given our scale here, we probably need to just use a Cali or PacCo.
