(Results are averaged over the past 7 days)
I don’t know much about federation issues with programming.dev, but I think the reason why there’s so many results from that instance is they’ve changed how active users are calculated for their communities. Instead of it being just users who post and comment, it’s now users who post, comment or vote on anything.
I saw a post about it yesterday (in their Meta community I think), and wondered how it would affect these lists. I’ll have to see what it’s like in the coming days (that instance will seem way more active than every other instance, but each community’s activity growth should stabilise, hopefully)
Ah, that’s interesting.
To be fair, I always thought votes should be accounted for active users. There are a lot of people who only read and vote, they should be accounted
yeah should hopefully calm down tomorrow now that the initial jump is done and since youre doing it relative to what the values used to be so the values themselves shouldnt matter
there might still be spikes from dead communities suddenly getting activity (since the increase from 0 is much larger those communities would go to the top of the list. Could artificially decrease large active user changes from the instance by taking the square root of the percent instead of the actual percent for percents above 100% (1) or something)
Taking into account votes is going to be how the active users is handled for any instances running pangora (lemmy fork)
Viewing the instance communities from another instance thats just using lemmy will show the old stats if needed though
