Haha wow - ok, Japan has officially colonized the fediverse. mstdn.jp and pawoo.net are #1 and #2 for user count respectively.
@wogan woah what are how did you make that graphic? is it getting live numbers from instances.mastodon.xyz?
@wogan I made a shitty attempt at kumu.io/wakest/fediverse super glad you're doing this. if you want any help I would be happy to lend a hand. don't have much coding skills but have design and research skills
@taeateh Haha yeah, I saw that page! It actually kinda inspired me to take a shot at this myself
I like that you've actually got the different software packages listed there too, and that it's not all just Mastodon.
@wogan wasn't implying anything lacking, thankful for what is there :)
@LFSaw No problem! I ended up making a bunch of updates to it over the last few days, it's a lot better now
@taeateh I'm scraping individual instances for the numbers, but I did get a kick-start by pulling the instance list from xyz yes.
The graphic itself is built with d3.js, and you can see the live version here: https://radar.amberstone.digital/chart/fediverse
