Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities Englisch

Ategon , vor 8 Monaten

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

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?

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

There’s always LibreOffice…

BentiGorlich OP Globaler Mod , vor 8 Monaten

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

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

In this list it doesn't seem like it: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

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

I'm here :)

threelonmusketeers , vor 8 Monaten

Thanks for maintaining lemmyverse :)

tgxn , vor 8 Monaten

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

threelonmusketeers , vor 8 Monaten

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

tgxn , vor 8 Monaten

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

BentiGorlich OP Globaler Mod , vor 8 Monaten

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

tgxn , vor 8 Monaten

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 OP Globaler Mod , vor 8 Monaten

I think it is 12 old by now

tgxn , vor 8 Monaten

Yeah it is, docker stopped loading the redis DB 🤣

looks like it's fixed it https://develop.lemmyverse.net/

will be in prod shortly :)
