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?
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 waaaaah! , such a roller coaster.
…“Nodes” growth is good, tho.
(sorry for the white graph to anyone using the dark view)
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

What the hell happened in December?

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?)
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.

why is the user statistic so weird?
