That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.

[-] Steve@communick.news 86 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn't nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

Maybe whole Instance that went offline.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 12 points 5 months ago

That's my guess to

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Cool then it should be 5.5% of the visual space for it to not be misleading. But it’s represented much larger. And OP is (edit to sound less mean) not updating the post sooo…

I call shade

Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.

The user count isn't helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.

I captured the graph with the number after the decrease at the bottom right to try to show the number of lost users, but I see where you come from

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 months ago

Lies, damned lies and statistics.

[-] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

no it's not?

you can see the axes and op even mentions that it's a 5% drop

the graph is clearly just fitted to the data

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 11 points 5 months ago

I edited the title after their comment, it wasn't that clear at the beginning

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago

In my classes on analytics, we were taught to prefer using normalised axes starting at 0 to more accurately put changes into perspective.

That's the problem. It's heavily skewed when compared to the greater overall engagement statistics.

Maybe it's a problem with the crawler.

Which one of you forgot to open the app so we all ceased to exist to save on simulation resources?

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Go on... lol

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

At least user a log scale. But start at 0

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 12 points 5 months ago

Feel free to suggest this to the Fediverse Observer team

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Ah, I didn't know.

The monthly graph is pretty interesting in the same way, -400k?

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

Lots of farmbots going down looking at the servers graph

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Interestingly the amount of active users status pretty solid at 200k indeed

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 5 months ago

Interestingly there seems to have been an uptick in comments.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 8 points 5 months ago

Indeed, the plot thickens.

Maybe the farm bot owner decided to make all comments by a single bot now.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

Curiouser and curiouser.

Probably some mundane explanation but still...

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 5 months ago
[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Was the metric measured before the day the was over which would limit the timeframe of the final day and show fewer users?
I dont see this chart when I click the link

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

It should be there, it's the second graph
