Though I guess you'd still have to snap the usercount so you can note variance. -

a program that runs as a daemon getting the user count from several instances on that api endpoint, and posts it in this format
pigpoopballs.com: [number] users (+/- [number] difference from last query)
x.com: [same format as above]
just as a meme, maybe ping someone if the number for a certain instance increases.In conversation permalink -

Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 27-Oct-2023 17:10:09 JST Machismo @kirby @ruina @lina @iamtakingiteasy Because csv is even easier to parse than json, also you don't need to go out and connect to the instances you want, you just rip it all in one call.

The idea is mostly to give people useful data about fedi. In conversation permalink -

Machismo (zerglingman@freespeechextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 27-Oct-2023 19:08:37 JST Machismo @p @ruina @lina @kirby @iamtakingiteasy Can you pull data for multiple named instances in a single call? In conversation permalink -
