Comment on federation issue to instance
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month agoHey, sorry for the late reply, but I’m trying to figure out who runs this graph, because if it needs something like a bit of funding to store data for longer periods I’d like to help. Do you know, or know where you heard about it?

Hi, I run this.
What benefit do you expect from longer retention periods and how much time did you have in mind?
The way data is currently collected and stored keeps the same granularity for the entire time period, which currently uses around 60 GiB for a month of retention across all monitored instances.

Mainly, I’m interested in how Lemmy is growing and changing as a whole. If there was a way to store activity just weekly or even monthly that would help for what I’m interested in.
Nothing4You@programming.dev 1 month ago
so all you’re looking for is the amount of activities generated per instance?
that is only a small subset of the data currently collected, most of the storage use currently comes from collecting information in relation to other instances.

Yep. As far as I know nobody else collects that information, though.
