Ive been noticing some strange things about the lemmy numbers on fedidb. It seems to go up/down quite a bit. https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Nothing nefarious, but:

  1. hexbear seems to be counted twice for some reason.www.hexbear AND hexbear.com
  2. lemmy.ml claims to have 52.7k users but fedidb states 2093?
  3. lemmy.world looks correct in everything.

Yeah I dunno why hexbear appears twice but it's always been like that on fedidb.

Lemmy.ml does have 52.7k total accounts, but again it has always just displayed the active users on the total user count on fedidb. No idea why.

There's a couple other sites that track fediverse stats, but they're also a bit wonky in certain aspects. The second one is really fucked up now, it only seems to display a handful of servers. Used to work better a year ago. But definitely useful to cross reference when fedidb is inaccurate about certain things.
