Ask HN: Has HN traffic / engagement declined over the past year?

Over the past year I've anecdotally noticed a decrease in posting volume, comment volume, and even comment and post quality. HN doesn't publicly post their statistics (to my knowledge), but does anyone at HN have (and can share) visibility into any stats or trends over the past few years and can share how any of that has changed? Mostly curious but also I think there's some macro changes going on in tech and entrepreneurship.
