There are weird things happening in the-federation.info page:
- Users count is fluctuating for a few days
- Some instance report wrong numbers such as lemmyonline.com which reports 97,024 posts where as the actual posts are less than 50 posts
I believe this is affected by the way federation is currently implemented, where you see metrics relative to your instances relationship with the host instance you’re interacting with.
My understanding is this is being worked on so the metrics line up across all federated instances.
