I was bored/procrastinating on some work.
It’s not really an in-depth thing, I just used Lemmy’s search capability and took note of the number of responses and the number of deleted responses. I added the number of responses with the number of deleted responses (a negative number for new responses, a positive number for new responses is ignored). I did it for both Lemmy.world and Lemm.ee and took the average. For the smoothed out version, I just took the exponential moving average with the following factors:
- sampling frequency =
1 day - average age (ϰ)=
7 days - EMA factor (α) =
1/(ϰ+1)=0.125
That is, I am trying to smooth the values accounting for weekly variability in activity.
I guess I could have ignored the spike in activity during the Reddit blackout, but it seems that the smoothing took care of that quite well.
EDIT: Replaced chart image with a one that has a black background for legibility for people using light mode.
Here’s a link to a google sheets copy of the file I used.
