I’ve been thinking about discovering underappreciated Lemmy instances. GitHub’s awesome-lemmy-instances used to serve a similar purpose, but it hasn’t been updated in a long time, and I haven’t found anything else like it.
I got the idea from this post about finding decentralized communities in the Fediverse. I’m thinking of a Lemmy bot that tracks Lemmy instances, calculates the average number of active users and standard deviation, and identifies instances with activity below the average plus two standard deviations. It would then rank these underutilized instances by performance metrics like uptime and response time, and periodically update a curated list on Lemmy to guide users toward instances that could use more participation.
I'd love feedback on how you would go about doing something like this. And specifically how to rank by performance.

@paige Would've loved to have come, but I already have travel plans 😭 will there be a live stream?

@paige@masto.canadiancivil.com amazing! Are you looking for speakers? :eyes:
I need to move a few things around but I'd love to attend.
Thanks @evan for the ping. I missed this!

Yes, I know, I don't get told I'm a genius often enough

@amPennyfeather if it makes you feel any better, I had 1100 followers on Bluesky but I was rarely posting there because of their weird algorithms. I’d get 1-2 interactions at best, it felt like skeeting into the void. The Fediverse is so much better and more human. I’ve built so many amazing friendships on here 💖

@Em0nM4stodon I did and it felt awesome!

@Em0nM4stodon Wow. I have been off most other platforms since September, so I had no idea this was happening. This makes me want to delete my Bluesky account, I might as well, I think I have posted once in the last 4-5 months. No use for it anymore.

@Em0nM4stodon Ok, I just deleted my Bluesky account. I'll see if I can get used to Mastodon

ICE were approved an accountthey are noting who blocks them too 👀
its like you're being policed in real-time, on social media, and if you're a vocal critic maybe you're found and disappeared 💀
