If anybody is skeptical, here are lemmy growth stats

BTW the-federation.info is unmaintained now, here's a really good alternative: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

It is in "low maintenance", since it's working ok that's not a problem for me.

The new project misses the most useful feature of the-federation, sorting instance by "active users" (If you want to go with the "wisdom of the crowds" when picking instances).

There also seems to be a big differences between the stats. Do you really think lemmy has over 20k users?

Lemmy peaked the moment I joined, and I will forever take the merit for that. /s

(Any idea what happened between January and February last year?)

why is the user statistic so weird?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Iirc thats chapo.chat dropping out because they disabled the statistics endpoint at some time. Also i believe that lemmy.ml was counted twice for a time, when it was renamed from dev.lemmy.ml and redirected to the new domain.

lirc ... irc ... internet relayed chatLines ok, so, with that "chapo.chat" the # of "total local comments" went close to
2 000 000 ...
... then waa~aaah!~ , such a roller coaster.

..."Nodes" growth is good, tho. (sorry for the white graph to anyone using the dark view)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Is there anything regarding how evenly spread the user count is across nodes? If not, maybe developing some sort of formula or index may be good.

Federation only works if people arent all cramming together on the same instance.

You can take a look at the lemmymap: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/

Click on "instance 30d" or "growth" so that the size of the points is proportional to their users or growth.
