While the overall amount of users barely changed, the drop in new posts and comments after July is actually rather striking according to subredditstats.com. r/AskReddit, the most active subreddit on the site went from 70k comments and 5k posts per day down to 15k comments and 2k posts. r/news dropped 5k/100 -> 1k/20. r/aww went from 3k/300 -> 300/50. r/AmItheAsshole went from 30k daily comments down to 5k. r/meirl dropped from 350 posts a day down to like 80.
It turns out there is a huge overlap between people using the superior 3rd party apps to access your site and the users that bother to actually create and interact on that site. Who would have known?

5k posts per day??? I had no idea the bigger subs were that “active.” That is a ridiculously unmanageable amount of noise.
