[email protected] has lost members recently idk why. From what I gather from other comments, the subscribers figure yoyos. We're still doing well though and I'm helped by some brilliant people.

I've taken over [email protected] and I'm looking forward to expanding and growing that.

As someone who does not subscribe to WomensStuff, so I only have general advice for you:

If you or your instance (still forget the specifics) is opted into Lemmy Federate, then the bot drops a subscription when a real user subscribes. If that real user unsubscribes, I'm not sure the bot picks it back up.
People deleting their accounts or getting banned from an instance, perhaps? Not sure if banning from an instance drops all the user's subscriptions there.
Fatigue or dislike with the posts there.
Maybe just plain old federation issues? I know I have a community where my subscription is still pending, because the instance has massive federation issues.

It happens. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it drops a good fraction and stays down.
