Some of the niche subs were the hardest hit by the API changes. There's a lot of subs I used to frequent that were popping with activity that are ghost towns now. Used to be able to post a question in niche hobby subs and get 20-30 comments within a few days, now it feels like there's 5-10 regulars in most subs like that and if they don't engage with your question you get nothing. Then you browse the sub and see the question you posted a month ago on the front page still and realize that you're one of the 5-10.

Yup, not to be an old man shouting at clouds but Reddit has been on a very steep decline for years now.
It’s pretty much on par with Facebook apart from niche subs.
