Case
Why does the Site Constantly Switch from being Extremely Active to Mute?

This is more of an odd question if anything, but I've been looking through the site, and there alwaus seems to be huge multi month gaps in between the posts. I know this isn't as popular as say Reddit, but it feels odd for a large cluster of questions to happen at once and then there's silence for months on end.

Solution #1
I think its because of the timing for semesters and classes. This is an assignment for my class so it would kind of make sense.
Solution #2
It's properly because of the timing of the assignments. This is a graded assignment for my class as well so it would make sense why there aren't a lot of replies year round
Solution #3
people are only responding for a grade i would honestly suggest look at other sources like reddit and other social media cities since they are more known
