Fediverse Observer is offline and no longer being developed
The domain https://fediverse.observer redirects to sedo now.
On October 11th these two commits where made to the repo:
this will be my final release, glad to have contributed since 2011 to some fediverse stats, https://fedidb.com/ is a great resource with more interest
this software is no longer developed
Sad to have lost such a great resource.

@vicinus@piefed.zip fyi, this will impact !fedilytics@piefed.zip right?
Yeah. I saw the dead website earlier today and have been trying to figure out how to keep the posts working.
The fediverse software post, I could rewrite some code to gather fedidb daily (to my knowledge, they don’t have all time series data available), but their MAU math is suspect. So, not a great option, but my only other thought is basically remaking fediverse-observer and I do not have a server or potentially relevant server skill set beyond cron jobs.
For the threadiverse instances post, I can keep gathering data from the instances I already have in my database, but don’t really have another way to find new ones. Maybe, I could see if I could scrape it from fedidb (I couldn’t get their API working in the past).
In conclusion, the posts are not in a good place :(

Man that sucks. But also because I never have before, I want to thank you for all your labor making those posts! I find them very interesting.
Glad you enjoy them :)
Just need to figure out how to keep them going properly. I have a couple thoughts I’ll look into tomorrow. Hopefully one of them bears fruit.

Good luck!
