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")

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

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

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.
