Subreddits have dropped off too. I assumed the migration was to discord or tiktok or other plublic squares.

Specialized forum content, discussion and community suffered with the VerticalScope rollup that borged them all a few years back. They immediately upgraded the forum software to be phone app compatible (more eyeballs) and forum quality died soon after. No one is have good discussion, arguments, stories or history while phone posting on the can or in line at the DMV. It is all repetitive drive-by comments or questions that could be answered by a quick search of the forum so it is short attention span theatre now. I saw this across multiple forums that got rolled up by VS.

tldr; Vertical Scope and phone app use.
