  • Trending Communities for Wednesday 12th March 2025

    Jump

  • I've looked into who downvotes stuff in the past, and there's rarely anything to learn. It's often accounts with no posts, no comments, and at least one contradiction in terms in their profile ('skeptical optimist', or 'foolish sage' or some shit).

  • If anyone has a old microSD card lying around (that's got some write cycles left), a donation of that would be enough to get this community going again. It doesn't have to be massive (the one that died was 8 GB). If so, and it's not a ball-ache posting to the UK, I can provide my address.

  • This bot runs on a SBC that sits under my telly, and the SD-Card in it has decided to go read-only. I'm a bit skint atm, so it might be a while before it updates again.

  • Communities only feature in one or the other. Active User Growth is prioritised over Subscriber Growth, but 196's AU growth dropped today (it went from 0 to 4k to 7k over the week, but it's on about 6.5k now)

  • There's nothing like that that's preventing it being listed.

    The community was started 2025-01-19 17:37:24 - less than 4 days ago as I'm writing this. The bot gets it's data from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, but not much - it's got about 3 days of data on it.

    It needs 7 days, because it works by taking a rolling average of the previous 7 days. You'd see some crazy results if it started publishing results earlier. Doubly so because that community hasn't really grown organically, and has benefitted a lot from Fediverse drama.

  • Users per day is a bit too volatile - it's showing 2/day atm - so the bot uses Users per Week. Also, the data is from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, and it can end up picking up on activity that's already been and gone.

  • It'll feature naturally in a bit (the bot tries to measure trends over the previous 7 days, and that community was only created a few days ago).

  • Edited to remove hexbear@hexbear and add it to the filtered communities (and remove main@hexbear from filtered communities, which I'd mistakenly thought was their meta one).

  • Trending Communities for Saturday 14th December 2024

    Jump

  • The 'trending communities bot' relies on another bot, at lemmyverse.net. That bot is a bit fragile, and hasn't worked for a week: see https://data.lemmyverse.net/

    If you follow the GitHub link, you can see the process failing. I'll message the bot's author at some point, unless it automatically rights itself (it often does).

  • Ibis release 0.2.0 - Federated Wiki with Shiny Redesign

  • I've read that the same tech stack is intended to be used for Lemmy. Given how impressive the performance of the linked site is, it suggests very promising things for when it's implemented.

  • Just my dev instance.

  • (comment to use to make me a mod)

  • Is there any reason why there is no large generalist Lemmy instance managed from the USA? Is this just a coincidence?

    Jump

  • Yeah - it's what I use for testing stuff (it's a bit underpowered though: 1 core CPU, 1 GB Ram). I made that comment partly to verify how it would be announced back to me from .world (except I forgot to subscribe first). Anyway, now mastodon.social is aware of me, and is very keen on telling me about accounts that have been deleted (I swear that site has deleted more accounts that could ever have been created).

    Jump

  • I looked up lemmy.ml out of interest (I realise you aren't classifying it as generalist). Anyway: it says that the server is in France.

    Also, if you're able to lookup by IP instead of URL, you can bypass any CloudFlare confusion, and confirm that LW is hosted in Finland.
