This graph is the number of fediverse messages per day my little single-user instance has been receiving over the past year. Something is different.

@aaronpk What determines that number? Is it something like the combined number of messages posted by the people you follow and the people that follow you?

@jeroen94704 There's a lot of things. Posts from everyone I follow. Replies and likes of those posts. If you delete a post it sends a Delete activity. There's also a *ton* of redundant account Delete activities sent for some reason too.

@aaronpk What's the unit on the y-axis? If it's posts-per-day that doesn't look too bad, but I suspect that's not it 😀

@jeroen94704 Yeah it is! well not "posts" exactly, but all ActivityPub messages received per day.

@aaronpk That's not too bad! I had expected a much heavier message load. What are you running your instance on?

@jeroen94704 Keep in mind I'm only following just over 100 people right now. It's a bunch of hand-rolled code.
