@dansup I think there's something wrong with the header on devices with low width

@dansup @pixelfed Wow, looks great! Is it based on some page builder/framework?

@dansup @pixelfed Even the API documentation for Pixelfed looks nice. 😆

@dansup @pixelfed it looks amazing. Did you use a tool to generate the website?

@dansup @pixelfed Which API docs Tool do you use for this?

@dansup @pixelfed a collapsible sidebar would also be useful, so you don't have to scroll past all the other docs to see the methods or responses

@dansup One suggestion is to have an NSFW category / setting for FediDB that is opt-in (each time) where people can see stats for controversial instances.

However, I would suggest not hyperlinking to the instances as well as placing a warning to people visiting them.

That way, the stats would be accurate & FediDB would not be linking to them (so there would be no boost to their rankings in Google).

@dansup Love your work on fedidb Daniel! Considering how much that project is now growing in scope/importance, would it maybe be an idea to make an official fedi account for it? I'm trying to keep track of all the changes and plans youre making for it, and its quite a lot at this point.

@dansup tailwind + htmx + django, best team :)

@dansup the basic building blocks of each of my sideprojects. Also take a look at T3 (https://create.t3.gg), it‘s really impressive 👍

@dansup Humans are good for moderation... Keep what needs to be moderated at a human level? Nah, why do that?

@dansup might be an idea to add a counter to the requests button?

@dansup ability to see MAU / total users, and sort by other columns like MAU would be cool.

@dansup There is a lot of people in Japan that uses Twitter and many of them are migrating to Misskey, also spam bots, but i'm pretty sure that number is specially made by human posts

@dansup But it's just one popular instance, no? Not sure that I'm fond of the new posts count as a raw metric of growth, either. You're probably right on the money with the spam theory.

@dansup I believe it's not spam.

Due to nature of Misskey users being creative with their post using Misskey-flavored Markdown, Misskey users are getting more creative with their post.

Western instance generally filled with people talking about politics, social problem, etc. But Japanese instance, especially Misskey.io, is basically people doing creative things. Public feed is filled with fanart, poems, cool photograph of anime plushie, sharing indie games. Also :blobcatpats:

@dansup went to check it out and it's just bots spamming propaganda. Couldn't find a single organic post. Do you think fedidb should have a ignore list of "servers" like this?

@dansup I guarantee you that any instance with open registration today is getting thousands of bot accounts. We had to turn on verification.

@dansup
What is the difference between a server and a project server?

@dansup@mastodon.social I find it interesting to see the country count. US, France, Germany, Japan, are top, for now.

@dansup I love how you're presenting those statistics!

However, I notice that there are graphs where the y-axis does not start at 0. Though that's not uncommon, the first glance might suggest exaggerated effects. ("The Active Users dropped to near zero!? Oh wait, that's not zero...")

I like the simplicity as it is, but to avoid sources for confusion, maybe a toggle-button next to the download-button could be added per diagram, to switch whether the y-axis should start at 0 or not.

Looking at these new graphs, I think there may be a bug in how Pixelfed calculates new posts.

Also that one misskey instance I never heard of that has 6.7M new posts in May looks sus

@dansup
(any progress on fixing LDAP on Pixelfed?)

@dansup what JS library do you use to make the line and pie charts please? ☺️

@dansup is yhat user count active users, or does it include accounts that have since migrated? (Or, which endpoint is this, as I'd like to separate out active accounts from migrated stubs)

@dansup
When you list servers, you might add which apps they are running. Some are obvious, but some are not.

@dansup I am chronically unavailable until after at least 11am.

@dansup

Maybe next year.

@dansup (a) is this active users or total users?
(b) is this because of proliferation of new instances or just an overall decline in usage, or both?

@dansup would it be possible to have median and quartiles too? Or is that too much computation?

@dansup One thing I've noticed about the FediDB main page is that it's including partial months in the graphs.

I.e, for June 2023, it looks like there is less people & posts than before, which is probably not going to be true.

Maybe there's a way to adjust that last data point if it's still a month in process, by shading it or showing a prediction based on current trajectory.

@dansup more graphs??? heck yeaaaaah

@dansup Woo-hoo I'm listed now 🙂

@dansup It's honestly a shame that society has come to this but we do what we must.

@dansup Any update on opening up pixelfed.art?

@dansup As a comment. Navigating those server pages on mobile is quite the challenge and honestly I wasn't sure if they were buttons or a divider. Would love to see it more clearly signposted!
