A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Kbin.social has disabled federation temporarily. (kbin.social)

Hello, you might have noticed (or not) that posts from kbin, more specifically kbin.social aren't showing anywhere, this is due the DDoS protection they currently have on. So even if you are subscribed to kbin.social communities you won't see any posts from the outside.

Same is happening inside kbin.social where users there cannot see posts from the outside. This is however temporary and the admin is working on getting federation back online.

~~The site is currently reporting 125k registered users~~

Edit: After a quick chat with the dev group it seems this number is just the total users discovered by this instance. The real amount of users is 22k as seen on https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0

Edit: kbin.social is currently upgrading servers to handle the requests.

I find it hard to believe there are 125,000 users on kbin...are we sure it isn't reporting stats from all the servers it's federated with (and therefore including Lemmy)?

I too am curious how this number is generated. For an instance of 125k users, the interactions seem quite low. "Top" items are at the top of the list with 500-1000 upvotes... and only ~100 comments.

I would kind of expect a bit more.

1 9 90 rule applies quite well, only a limited number of users ever interact with anything at all, and no one interacts with everything.

[–] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay... Let's take that 1 9 90 rule... 1% creators 9% interactors and 90% lurkers. So at 800 upvotes which is the upper end of the "Top" threads... we're expecting 8000 users. Not 125k.

It still doesn't line up.

Yup, I made a mistake, the real amount is 23k, you can see the edit in the post.

The stats page lists users it knows about, including Federated (see also: the People tab).

Local counts can be seen at: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0 - currently about 22k.

FediDB uses the nodeinfo for its stats gathering, but has a delay.

[–] aspseka@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

So that's more like 23k now. Still impressive.

Is just reporting users on that instance, you can see fedia's (another kbin instance) here http://fedia.io/stats.

Edit: After a quick chat with the dev group it seems you are correct, it's just reporting the total users discovered

[–] JohannesOliver@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is reporting users it knows about, which includes federated servers. The local stats can be seen at https://fedia.io/nodeinfo/2.0, under users.
