During the Reddit Blackout i made a graph showing the posts and comments/day (Link).

Some days ago i was asked to make an Update so here it is.

Source Data is from here and contains the same Data as some may know from here. Only difference is that the post and comment count is summed over the day.

EDIT:

The Original Post Data contained inconsistent Data points on each day (see here).

This is the corrected Chart, which uses the difference in Post IDs between the days to calculate the daily number (adjusted to s between the api calls):

I also adjusted the values to 10^6 and adjusted the y-axis ranges, I hope this makes it easier on the eyes.

For people complaining on the mixed chart: Double column looks bad with 2Y-Axis, and double lines looks too empty. 2Y-Axis are necessary cause of the difference in scaling of the posts and comments data, only other option would be an axis break.

    Oof, this plot pains me. Commas on the axis labels would have been nice, but more importantly there’s an obvious daily seasonality trend across the course of a week, and I don’t think the % dips shown account for that. Had the blackout not occurred, at least some of that dip would have happened naturally.

      Sadly no way of getting that data, since the data logging from the source only started on the 7th.
      As for the commas, yeah i guess I should have made the values as 10^6.
      Maybe if I make a follow up post at the start of July if the Raw Data gets updated on the source

      Btw am replying from my kbin account since there seems to be an issue between lemmy.world and kbin right now. My comments just won’t go through to kbin users

      Right? If anything it’s a little depressing - I don’t see much change.
