  That would seem a little odd given the person behind it has listed their account as being on a PieFed instance.

  @andrew_s@piefed.social do you know if your bot is/should be tracking PieFed communities?

    It doesn't, no. The bot gets its data from another bot, at https://lemmyverse.net/, which only crawls Lemmy and MBIN instances at the mo.

    We'd either need to send a PR to get that bot to crawl PieFed instances too, or just replicate the functionality from the same machine that runs 'tcbot'. Communities would also need to provide their 'active users / month' too. It's just the subscriber count currently, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem hopefully.

      @Skavau@piefed.social opened a ticket there: github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/229

  I think you may be right. Would be very unfortunate.
