Fleet suddenly losing members?
We're a fleet with no level requirement and no approval required for new members. For the past years, we've always been between 48 and 50 members. A few days ago we went down to 40 and have stayed there since.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar? Is there a new bug that is keeping people from joining fleets (or the game)? Is someone kicking or stealing our members? Would be nice if the game showed who joined or left, but I've pretty much given up on that ..

It's possible that your fleet-mates have decided to move on and be part of fleets that push towards higher rankings. It's also possible they want to be part of a fleet that has a full starbase and full benefits from dailies. (Which are only possible when at least 40 members of a fleet complete them.)
There isn't a glitch that I'm aware of that would prohibit someone from joining a fleet so I doubt that's an issue.
Some people are unable to join the game but that glitch does not cause them to leave a fleet. (Those that are affected by this can submit a ticket to support and follow the instructions/recommendations they provide.)
As for kicking members: only the admiral can do that as far as I'm aware. Or an officer, (I think). So unless someone's on a power trip I doubt this is the case.
Stealing members on the other hand, is called recruiting and is done by either in-game chat or Discord. Fleet members who are recruited leave of their own accord and when they feel that other fleets have more to offer them.
Hope that answers some of your questions 😅
