Like a graph of the number of users on the whole lemmyverse.
Solved, graph here: https://the-federation.info/lemmy
You can use the Lemmy crawler I wrote recently to get statisticts in json format. It would be nice if someone would use that to collect data in regular intervals, and build some graphs from it.
You can follow that info and other related ones here: https://the-federation.info/lemmy
Note: in the past Lemmy’s API fixed the way to count users.
I have another question, where did most old users go? I was looking around and found this post and it’s sad that most of them aren’t active anymore T_T
I’d guess they wanted more network effect. So they went back to proprietary apps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect, tldr; more users = good.
This would be neat to have, at the very least.
But would it start at the federation, or would it start at the beginning?
