Has community engagement dropped off suddenly? (self.asklemmy)

I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.

A lot of the same opinion based rage baiting articles. same as we've seen spammed on Reddit communities.
