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.

@feyter ohh boy... IMHO
I believe I am a game developer. Even though my games are barely games and I have sold $0.
I am also a hobby game developer, because I am not selling anything and I just want to make something.
A profesional game developer is someone that can/has gotten hired to develop games.
An indie games developer used to mean something but can now mean almost anything.
A solo games developer is a rockstar fullstack genius that does entire games, except the parts they cant do.

Ok #gamedev people of the #fediverse what is your POV on this? If you develop games in your free time, does this make you a game developer or just a "hobby game dev"?

@box464 Some 10-20, not more.
Usually it's either a long form article or a video I want to see in a later moment, or suggestions for movies/series/books for which, if I appreciated them, I want to remember who to thank for suggesting

How many bookmarks do you have saved on your fediverse account? Please boost widely.
If it’s more than 100..how many more than 100? And if you’ve never used them, why?
Thank you! 🔖

Today I discovered the Fediverse Software Database, and it’s a bit disheartening to see how many platforms have so few users. What are some ways we could help promote these smaller or newer Fediverse projects and give them more visibility?
-
"By platform" is a fuzzy request given the interoperable nature of the fediverse. This list is broken up by software, so Lemmy/PieFed/mbin are listed separately even though their users share and interact as if they were all on one platform.

I'm looking for an up-to-date, comprehensive list of all ActivityPub federated platforms, sorted by the total number of monthly active users across all instances. Similar to Fediverse Observer’s list but for platforms instead of instances using the platform. Does anyone know of one?
