I am interested in checking out the historical growth of a particular community. Lemmy Explorer crawls for data about the Lemmyverse every 24 hours or something, and that data is made available on their website. But I can only find where to download the latest data. Is there somewhere that I can find historical data? Does Lemmy Explorer archive these anywhere, or does it just overwrite the previous data each time it crawls?
I was hoping for more than just that, but any data you have on !chevron7@lemmy.world would be appreciated!
(same person on different account, just so I can preview what the table will look like)
Hmmm. This might not help you much. That community was launched on 2024-01-22, with a page full of posts, so by the time the crawler picked up on it, it was already at 501 subs, 23 posts.
It lost 15 posts on 2024-02-12 (Stamets?).
There’s data missing from 2024-02-26 - 2024-03-01 (this data is from the bot at !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl; I think those days are missing because I changed it from measuring Active Users Month (AUM) to Active Users Week (AUW)).
In terms of active users, the jump on 2024-03-04 is due to lemmy.world ‘upgrading’ to 0.19.3.

Thanks!
What does this mean? You are assuming that a particular user deleted their account, taking all their posts with them?
Yeah. It seems like the kind of community he’d post in. I think there was some drama between him and startrek.website, resulting in him or the admins deleting the account.
Nope, not a community I’ve ever posted in. I deleted my ST.W account in January.
