Pangora should be back up atm if you wanted a reference to what it looks like. It’s something I just havent been maintaining and updating atm since ive been focusing on getting some other projects finished and lemmy has been good enough so far on this side

It works, those statuses are just a bit misleading

How it works is it subs to a community (from all instances connected to it) until someone from an instance subs and then it unsubs in that instance. In the previous version of the site when it unsubbed it would mark the instance it unsubbed from as completed on that community (although seems to be a bit broken here)

Yeah theyre still by far #1 in terms of MAU even when not taking into account votes while everyone else is so might bump it up by another 10k

Its based on what instances report. So instances on 0.19 or above would factor in votes into that number. Ones that arent would not (so the number has a combination of both cases)

The 2m there is extremely inflated to to bot sign up spam. Back when instances were getting set up in the reddit migration there was some people that started mass signing up accounts on instances with weak security. Fediverse observer doesnt care about any of that and just shows user accounts regardless of what happens on the instance

Fedidb has a much more accurate count at ~ 400k https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy since they exclude these bot spammed instances. They also have a monthly active user count (~ 38k) based on what instances report for that stat

Its from the microblog side but leaking into lemmy a bit since they mass tag everything they find (which includes lemmy communities)

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

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