I just confirmed the problem still exists and messaged them via mastodon about it.

Probably didn’t let them know originally because I didn’t have a mastodon account at the time and already had a good option (fediverse-observer).

Glad you enjoy them :)

Just need to figure out how to keep them going properly. I have a couple thoughts I’ll look into tomorrow. Hopefully one of them bears fruit.

You’d think it’s straightforward and additive. I added up all their listed instances for a couple different softwares. The math was wrong and overestimated the MAU count. I checked it a few times across a couple weeks. Couldn’t quickly figure out a pattern to how the math was wrong each time.

Maybe they fixed it in the last ~6 months, but I wouldn’t count on it. I believe it’s the same Dev as pixelfed and loops. So, not sure they’ve done any work on fedidb in years (to my knowledge, they’ve focused on Loops and Pixelfed).

Edit: to clarify, adding the MAU of all their listed instances for a particular software was lower than the total MAU they reported for the software.

Edit 2: Just checked their Piefed listings and it’s still wrong. Fedidb states: ~7.0k, actual addition: 6858 MAU.

Yeah. I saw the dead website earlier today and have been trying to figure out how to keep the posts working.

The fediverse software post, I could rewrite some code to gather fedidb daily (to my knowledge, they don’t have all time series data available), but their MAU math is suspect. So, not a great option, but my only other thought is basically remaking fediverse-observer and I do not have a server or potentially relevant server skill set beyond cron jobs.

For the threadiverse instances post, I can keep gathering data from the instances I already have in my database, but don’t really have another way to find new ones. Maybe, I could see if I could scrape it from fedidb (I couldn’t get their API working in the past).

In conclusion, the posts are not in a good place :(

Maybe check out NodeBB. My recollection is that it’s a federated server software for forums that can interface with at least Mastodon and Piefed (probably Lemmy and Mbin too).

I believe I’ve seen some content from a forum in the past, but it’s tough to tell, as I think they just show up the same as any other threadiverse instance (a post in a community on an instance).

I’m not sure how you’d search for them though…

Based on TheMightyCat’s answer in another post (“I have just received word from Luca [PostMarketOS Dev] that the image is compatible with the 6+”), I would guess that the motherboards are compatible.

Added info on Ghost, it’s part of the fediverse. I’m not sure their level of integration, but I recall ghost accounts being able to post onto mastodon. Supposedly, they have a much better fee structure than patron or substack too.

Definitely verify what I’ve said, I’m going based on recollection and its been a while since I checked it out.

You might be interested in the Pylova Piefed fork. It’s from the contributor that this post about Rimu deleting the other side of the story is from (Quokka).

I haven’t had many interactions with either of them (Rimu and Quokka), but if I had guess which is the problematic one in a situation is, I’d guess Rimu.

Mods please advise.

Edit: fixed a mod’s name.

That’s strange behavior.

Are all the other “views” working correctly (local, subscribed, all)?
