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

	Community Count	Community Subscriber Count
beehaw.org	6	133450
hexbear.net	33	663204
lemdro.id	1	17052
lemmy.blahaj.zone	1	15907

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:

Very interesting, although I'd like to see how different threadiverse software like mbin fits into this.

[-] BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de 5 points 5 months ago

It uses the lemmy API, so it is plattform specific. AP has no metric for active users in the magazine yet, only instance wide. So for mbin only total subscriber count would be a metric

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

If i'm understanding the last graph right, it's showing the total number of active monthly users per instance's top communities, filtered by the overall top 100 communities?

So if an instance has activity spread out over many niche communities, that activity isn't represented on this graph?

I would think having a diversity of smaller communities is more in-line with the spirit of the fediverse, I'm not sure of the value in slicing the data in this way.
