A barchart might be better as the comparison of instances with the most subscribed accounts doesn't mean much I feel
we have some users that register but are inactive and/or are infrequently active which could be a sign of lurkers or bots but empty accounts don't mean much when it comes to the health of an instance.
However; if we look at each community's active monthly and daily users it can tell another story and that data compared against Reddit's could be useful for anyone seeking alternatives
I'm rambling with little sleep but hopefully what I've said make a little bit of sense
Sorry mate, those figures with no meaningful captions are borderline incomprehensible. Like, what's the difference between first and second figure?
Duplicate instances are a problem imho. You can see the network effect synergy working by how many communities flock to the biggest instance lemmy.world.
There also need to be tools to merge two communities on separate instances, or move them.
Two of my niche instances tried to leave reddit, but then there were two versions, one on .ml and one on .world. Confusing. Maybe there need to be reviews for communities or instances.
It's very funny that despite most of you hating hexbear so much, they are still one of the biggest.
Does anyone else just see pacman throwing up a rave?
Somebody did dirty for shitjustworks instance and that colour
Did you graph these with a JS library? I'd love to improve the community stats page with some more cool graphs like these.
I had a crack at it on these pages, but didn't dive into specific community info

I'm just happy that Lemmy.ca made the list.
