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

Duplicate instances are a problem imho. You can see the network effect synergy working by how many communities flock to the biggest instance lemmy.world.

There also need to be tools to merge two communities on separate instances, or move them.

Two of my niche instances tried to leave reddit, but then there were two versions, one on .ml and one on .world. Confusing. Maybe there need to be reviews for communities or instances.

It's very funny that despite most of you hating hexbear so much, they are still one of the biggest.

Does anyone else just see pacman throwing up a rave?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did you graph these with a JS library? I'd love to improve the community stats page with some more cool graphs like these.

I had a crack at it on these pages, but didn't dive into specific community info

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.
