A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Timeline of total users at the top 10 Lemmy instances (July 2023) (public.flourish.studio)

Two timelines I created of the total users at the top 10 Lemmy instances as a bar chart race and as a line chart. The line chart only includes the current top 10 Lemmy instances as of the 9th of June 2023 because Flourish only allows ten lines at a time.

I used the Federation to determine the current top 10 Lemmy instances as of the 9th of June and the 14th of July 2023. The website only has sorting function for the current data, and the instances have to opt in to be included. Therefore, it is likely that some instances are not included. Furthermore, the website seems to only contain data from the last year, so the website do not have documentation on the top instances prior to this period. Additionally, I excluded instances that have had quick growth in total users but not in posts and comments.

30k users? Doesn't lemmy.ml have around 1k users? Are those visitors numbers?

Or does it include other Fediverse users...

There are some mastodon accounts/bots that update statistics about mastodon everyday. It would be awesome to do the same thing about lemmy on regular basis, like once per week or month. Awesome.

I don’t see anything. All it says is a flourish data visualization

[–] Gabino3503 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Click on one of the links, and you will be taken to the page where the visualization is. The visualizations are not rendered on beehaw.org.

I really like where this is going. Feels like we're settling a new frontier!

Very interesting! Is there a way to view all the data at once with a line graph? I prefer that over animated bar charts

[–] stefenauris@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I love charts like this <3
