I've looked into who downvotes stuff in the past, and there's rarely anything to learn. It's often accounts with no posts, no comments, and at least one contradiction in terms in their profile ('skeptical optimist', or 'foolish sage' or some shit).

If anyone has a old microSD card lying around (that's got some write cycles left), a donation of that would be enough to get this community going again. It doesn't have to be massive (the one that died was 8 GB). If so, and it's not a ball-ache posting to the UK, I can provide my address.

This bot runs on a SBC that sits under my telly, and the SD-Card in it has decided to go read-only. I'm a bit skint atm, so it might be a while before it updates again.

Communities only feature in one or the other. Active User Growth is prioritised over Subscriber Growth, but 196's AU growth dropped today (it went from 0 to 4k to 7k over the week, but it's on about 6.5k now)

There's nothing like that that's preventing it being listed.

The community was started 2025-01-19 17:37:24 - less than 4 days ago as I'm writing this. The bot gets it's data from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, but not much - it's got about 3 days of data on it.

It needs 7 days, because it works by taking a rolling average of the previous 7 days. You'd see some crazy results if it started publishing results earlier. Doubly so because that community hasn't really grown organically, and has benefitted a lot from Fediverse drama.

There you go @neatobuilds@lemmy.today, !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today has finally appeared!

Users per day is a bit too volatile - it's showing 2/day atm - so the bot uses Users per Week. Also, the data is from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, and it can end up picking up on activity that's already been and gone.
