The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

The data this is based on comes from https://lemmyverse.net where you can just download a full json of the data they have (I excluded all communities marked as "suspicious")

Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

Eyyyyy midwest.social!

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 2 points 2 months ago

What do you mean by "manually counted"? And what did you use to generate the chart? Is that a Google API?

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I looked at the community list in programming.dev (from https://programming.dev/communities) sorted by active users per month and noted down the instances for the top 100 communities

its using google sheets

going to recount with lemm.ees community list in a sec since theyre federated with hexbear

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 3 points 2 months ago

I hate that their libraries are so good sometimes :D Mine uses recharts with suboptimal configuration

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

There’s always LibreOffice…

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 2 points 2 months ago

I used that to filter the data, but it wouldn't generate a pie chart for it XD

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Weird, that’s one of its basic functions. Oh well.

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 4 points 2 months ago

And I've fixed it now :D Sorry for the delay and thx for reporting <3

I'm here now, thanks for the ping :)

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for maintaining lemmyverse :)

[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 2 points 2 months ago

Thank YOU for being the MVP that let me know it was broken! 🤣 🔥

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That was easy. I'm sure maintaining the site is much more difficult!

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 2 points 2 months ago

Their deploy pipeline is broken as well. So I think that is the reason for the old crawl date

[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 2 months ago

It sometimes does that when the crawler hasn't had time to fetch a large proportion of the instances in the last 4 hours. the data should be pretty recent still. I'll check on it now :)

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 3 points 2 months ago
[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah it is, docker stopped loading the redis DB 🤣

https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/pull/189
looks like it's fixed it https://develop.lemmyverse.net/

will be in prod shortly :)
