I was hoping those 5595 spam communities a disgruntled lemmy.world created had finally been deleted, but it's not that.
The data is published about 4 times a day, and there's a bit of variance each day, but not as much as the latest difference.

lemmy.fmhy.ml is down and all its communities are obviously missing as well. That might be it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lemmy.fmhy.ml is 1 instance, which had about 340 communities, so that's some it, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My understanding is that all free .ml instances got removed as well - could be a sizeable chunk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Of the missing instances, fmhy is the only .ml instance.

I'm starting to think it's more because of servers falling over recently (e.g. 530 communities on sh.itjust.works, 370 communities on pornlemmy.com, and 380 communities on exploding-heads.com)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've deleted over 4000 communities today 😁

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And here's the culprit!

[–] falseteefs 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder how many of those instances are single user instances and the numbers going up and down so sharply are curious people spinning up instances, getting bored and killing them once they get bored. I'd like to be able to see how much other platforms in the fediverse fluctuate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The instances on the list are only ones with communities on them. The website is currently showing 1251 instances for today, so I assume that includes single-user instances

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait what; how could 10% of the instances just disappear?!

[–] Blaze 2 points 1 year ago

People gave it a shot and shut down their servers. Or farmbots moving to something else
