Not sure why you’re being downvoted. But you’re correct—some TVs have been found to automatically connect to open wifi networks to phone home.

This pretty well captures things! Insects that eat other insects are worth rooting for, but like you, I’m on team spider.

This is a favorite at our house. Actually, I’m just about to fry some up for dinner guests :)

Yes, particularly if you join a small instance and are unaware of the community search options that capture better statistics. It will give new, naive users the sense that all communities are tiny and inactive.

This looks nice—thanks for sharing!

I was beginning to suspect that… I’m guessing that’s all the info my instance has on another instance’s community. I guess I’ll stick to the community browser on feddit.de for searching.

Maybe wefwef could one day search through that service instead of one’s own instance…

Ok, continuing to think out loud. It seems that searching from within my instance with a web browser also shows the 80 subscribers (well, 81 now that I’ve subscribed). So I’m not sure what’s responsible for the error. Nonetheless that’s a huge discrepancy between what the community’s sidebar claims 🤷‍♂️

This also applies to the search results within wefwef, which also shows the 80 subscribers error. This makes it difficult to identify active communities when looking for new topics.

I’ve discovered a possible bug in how wefwef is parsing or displaying community statistics. For example, at the time of this writing, c/science at lemmy.ml shows the following stats in their sidebar:

Users / day: 12 Users / week: 54 Users / month: 157 Users/ 6 months: 244 Subscribers: 8.27k Posts: 1.23k Comments: 1.29k

As the screenshot of the sidebar in wefwef shows, only the “users / day” stat is correct. Wefwef shows 80 subscribers rather than 8.27k.

Agreed. Works perfectly well for me too. If only I could convince more people I know to use it…

[-] n3mo@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I sincerely hope you’re right about that comeback!

I’ve always wanted to try making my own as well—will definitely have to try this!
