Remember, most people there are passively consuming content and don’t care. It’s when the content dries up or becomes boring they will leave. The problem then will be that they go to Instagram, TikTok or Twitter instead of Lemmy.

People tend to post things to talk about here, and there’s not so much “interesting” stuff and more memes/news. The thing about Stumbleupon was that it was curated in a very particular way. I don’t think the internet is anything less than it was, it’s just harder to find the good stuff.
