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”)
EDIT: The data if you sort by active users last month:

Community Count:
Community Users:
awful.systems is up there?
have to say i’m surprised. and a little disgusted.
If i’m understanding the last graph right, it’s showing the total number of active monthly users per instance’s top communities, filtered by the overall top 100 communities?
So if an instance has activity spread out over many niche communities, that activity isn’t represented on this graph?
I would think having a diversity of smaller communities is more in-line with the spirit of the fediverse, I’m not sure of the value in slicing the data in this way.
*instances
Surprised to see my small instance mentioned here 😅
Your work is recognized!
Wouldn’t comment or user count be a slightly better metric? Oh oh, do all 3 side by side please!
EDIT: Woah this page looks totally different on desktop than mobile.
Your data quality is questionable. You list only 2 communities for feddit.org. Lemmy Explorer has 148. I doubt that they’re all ‘suspicious’. And if they are, then that flag is itself suspicious.You didn’t use a black color for us? Heresy!
Poor lemm.ee
Nah I’d say this is right on par with the philosophy of the instance. Lemm.ee is moreso infrastructure for interacting with the fediverse than a specific community
Yes, the most active communities (https://lemm.ee/communities) are
All started by different people than the admin, who is indeed quite hands back regarding communities
We are small af. I think we are mostly just overflow .world users.
We’re currently the 2nd most active instance measured by MAU, only lead by Lemmy.world
awww, my instance is not even on the chart. Big sad 😿
One amusing bit re: hexbear, it’s been around almost as long as lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, but it seems was only added to the tracker last year, as it shows up as 12 months old, I have to imagine it’s including posts/comments from before that timeframe because bozhe moi:
Even if you divide the hexbear comments by 4 they’d still be in the top
32 excluding the reddit repost bot. Yappers.And here the diagram by community subscriber count:
Could you please do it based on monthly active users?
Lemmy.world gets A LOT bigger this way XD
Oh that would be interesting as well. I will do that. Checking back in 2h :D
Thanks!
I will add both pictures to the main post as well. Here is the Pie chart for community count:
And here is the pie chart for community users:
Great !
Nearly but not exactly :D
Damn, my hexbear filter is getting a real workout!
suprised mander.xyz is so small
[email protected] is the 9th most monthly active community
Where is lemmygrad? I would have expected them to make it on the list
I’m just happy that Lemmy.ca made the list.
