join-lemmy.org regularly crawls all active Lemmy instances to keep the instance list updated. Additionally it also collects data from all Lemmy communities. The data is now publicly available in the following git repository:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-statistics
Check the readme for details about the available data. Interestingly the numbers are quite different from other websites:
| join-lemmy.org | fediverse.observer | fedidb.com | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Active Users | 42.170 | 36.336 | 50.063 |
| Instances | 512 | 376 | 446 |
Here are some ideas what to do with the data:
- Recreate the Lemmymap, graphically showing the connections or defederations between instances.
- Render graphs, which could be added directly to join-lemmy.org (#532).
- Investigate what is causing the different numbers shown above.
- Run various types of analysis, like this one done by @malsadev.
- Build a tool to help users discover interesting and relevant communities.
42 Monthly Active Users … that’s the final answer to life, the universe and a verything 😋
… i am surprised, i expected the figures to be in the thousands 🤣
Edit :
Seriously now, new standard :
. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
.
The 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures[27] declared in 2003, “The symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line.” It further reaffirmed,[27]
Numbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groups
That is, “1 000 000 000” is preferred over “1,000,000,000” or “1.000.000.000”.
.
Not 42, it’s 42k

Europeans don’t get enough shit for writing numbers like that(jk).
Most countries in the world use decimal comma IIRC
Number of countries using comma may be more, but as India and China and Nigeria use dot, the number of dot user people may be higher.
