I'm currently studying the influx of people joining the network. A lot has happened in the last few days! But, I don't really have any specific stats to rely on.

So far, I've been able to use FediDB for Lemmy and Kbin, but those stats seem...low:

Lemmy: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Kbin: https://fedidb.org/software/Kbin

I know the flagship servers for both projects got hammered hard, do we have some way to determine if the number is bigger than what these current stats reflect?

You can verify the numbers by viewing the exact local user counts from each instance via the nodeinfo api at example.com/nodeinfo/2.0 for kbin and example.com/nodeinfo/2.0.json for lemmy. I think fedidb is close to accurate for lemmy but lagging behind a bit for kbin, specifically kbin.social where fedidb.info shows ~5K and kbin.social's nodeinfo shows ~20K users.

Yeah, Dansup just responded to my inquiry on Mastodon, and said that it looks like Kbin is not being updated on his end: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110546068159426679

Just trying to do my due diligence in figuring this stuff out. A lot of instances were struggling the last day or two.
