Seeing what people voted for isn’t public in the api (cant even get that from someone being logged in). Only posts & comments made for non login info

what was broken about the site

no css? or did it not load

yeah people who have been here for longer might have not accurate stats to only the year since I cant get an actual year range of the things I request

itll pull from your entire lemmy history but for most people that will be within the last year

Usually doesn’t change except if I do balance patches or it gets more data

Did a slight change to make adventurer 9 sites instead of 8 but that doesn’t affect you here

The top %s are based on the people that have currently requested their recap. Of those it just got more than 1000 so it will start to put people into legend now and will change who’s in there based on who requests it (e.g. if someone has 2600 comments they’ll now be the legend position)

Explorer and adventurer has the next highest priority after legend (and the other ranks with legend im not spoiling), then vanguard & wizard, then the rest

Looks like lemmy.ml is throwing 403s when I try to access images from it. Handled the case and it should work now

Ill start off with sharing my results. Top communities is dominated by programming.dev since thats what im the admin of

In programming.dev we have a community request zone at !community_request@programming.dev

You can find info like this in the sidebar if youre on web (and there’s going to be a support site made soon)

It depends on what is being called activity

The standard (I say standard but its really just the thing most sites use since it boosts their numbers) that social media uses for monthly active users is to do people who have logged in. This is what mastodon uses as well

While they aren’t actively contributing content they are still actively using the site (active account as opposed to dead account)

I think lemmy should match up to the mastodon and other social media calculations so these comparisons actually make sense otherwise were just making lemmy feel dead by calling a different calculation MAU than what people are used to and since both calculations are being compared like they’re equal

Self reported, no public way to get post reads, its just in the db

Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn’t federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).

the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it

Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared

old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also voters
both are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though

Thats already handled by lemmy ui currently. The same link posts will collapse into the same one

Just isn’t supported by some frontends since its a frontend specific feature (mostly the apps)

Comments merging isn’t supported though but the post mirrors can be toggled between relatively easily

It doesn’t, still spams low upvote posts, just slightly tweaked ordering

Zoomed out graph including some months before the join wave

Users/month are relatively stable now at 33x users/month compared to pre join wave (users/month is people who have posted or commented)

Im not sure how lemm.ee handles it but a lot of instances that aren’t lemm.ee dont have uploads disabled

For example this post has an image uploaded to .world

I dug through the code and turns out the post read table does store when its read (with number of comments when it was read stored in a person post aggregates table), it just only stores it for people from your instance so I cant get accurate numbers from all of lemmy (and why it seemed like there was a low amount)

The 118k is half year aka 6 months

The one around 35k is month

Dont have access to those stats in the database so adding on voting is the best I can do

Theres a post read table but its only people who have explicitly marked something as read and is way less than the post likes
