    Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?

      we've got fewer active users but have an outsized post/comment count

        Yeah, dunno how #10 accurately reflects our rank because we are far and away more active than many of these instances

          Well, you've got a 3 year head start as I understand it, no?

          Hexbear is at 1.62k MAUs, good for 7th most on Lemmy (ignoring lemmynsfw.com because it's presumably filled with alts).

          But your 3.7 million comments absolutely dwarf every other server. Props on that, but it's largely representative of past activity.

      I believe that your admins are blocking that information from being scraped. If that's not the case, then it's probably due to the fact that you guys run a unqiue fork of the Lemmy code.

      But it's certainly not about the timing, afaik.
