Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

beehaw.org hexbear.net lemdro.id lemmy.blahaj.zone lemmy.dbzer0.com lemmy.ml lemmy.one lemmy.world lemmynsfw.com sh.itjust.works sopuli.xyz
Community Count 6 33 1 1 1 14 1 39 2 1 1

The data this is based on comes from https://lemmyverse.net where you can just download a full json of the data they have (I excluded all communities marked as "suspicious")

EDIT: The data if you sort by active users last month:

Surprised to see my small instance mentioned here 😅

Blaze ,

Could you please do it based on monthly active users?

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

Oh that would be interesting as well. I will do that. Checking back in 2h :D

Blaze ,

Thanks!

I will add both pictures to the main post as well. Here is the Pie chart for community count:

Blaze ,

Great !

Lemmy.world gets A LOT bigger this way XD

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

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I added charts that use the monthy active users

Feathercrown ,

That contrast makes it impossible to read some labels

Is that table going under the sidebar and off the page for anyone else or just me? (on web)

nokturne213 ,

On mobile I was able to scroll it horizontally.

threelonmusketeers ,

On Thunder, everything (just) fits horizontally:

I might have preferred to scroll horizontally a bit.

FundMECFSResearch ,

suprised mander.xyz is so small

Blaze ,

!science_memes is the 9th most monthly active community

lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

cron ,

I think subscriber count is probably not ideal. I’ve seen communities where the number subscribers is 10x the number of active monthly users.

For other communities, subscribers is about equal to active users.

Blaze ,

Based on Monthly active users, the picture is different: lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

You already see a 4 sh.itjust.works community, a lemmy.ca community, a lemmy.zip community just from the top 30

Moghul ,

Jesus Christ, that’s a lot of weirdos.

Is there a way to create a pie like this but on an individual basis?

BentiGorlich OP ,
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

You mean the spread of the communities you are subscribed to? If so: probably yes, but not an easy one as you have to have access to the data (or more easily: the database)
