The maximum statistics shown on the Lemmy statistics page on Fedecan only goes out 2 years at most.

However, since the initial Reddit API exodus is now approaching the 2 year anniversery, this means that after this month, the Fedecan statistics pages would no longer be able to show the activity trends on Lemmy prior to the surge of users in June 2023. This is because after June 2025, the 2 year graphs would cut off before it would show the API exodus, as it becomes greater than 2 years old; and so it would not be displayed in the graphs after that time.

Would it be possible to add an additional set of graphs to all 4 statistics pages on Fedecan to show the all time statistics on Lemmy (i.e. with a fixed start date so it shows all statistics)?

In the past few weeks the !canada@lemmy.ca community has grown quite a bit. The growth has mostly consisted of news and (geo)political posts, which is understandable.

However, this makes it hard to follow any text threads like these or non-news/political posts. This leaves the only option of either blocking the !canada@lemmy.ca community completely, or having to use a mobile app with keyword filtering (I'm not aware of any on desktop, and keyword filters do not sync between devices yet).

I'd suggest changing/updating the rules of !canada@lemmy.ca to note to users to post their political (and geopolitical?) news threads in !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca instead. Alternatively, split geopolitical with (world) news into a separate lemmy.ca (world)news community like with !worldnews@aussie.zone? This split community would have a rule that all posts would need to link to a news site or equivalent. Text & image posts would remain at !canada@lemmy.ca.

This would make it a lot easier to find text posts, general discussion threads, and image posts without them being drowned out by the news and (geo)political news threads.

One can look to !australia@aussie.zone and note how that community makes it clear in the rules that politics, (world) news, and geopolitics have to be posted into the Australian politics/(world) news communities. This makes the main Australia community much easier to browse and scroll through without going insane.
