UnitedHealthcare Group should be in the picture as well, with Andrew Witty $18.8 M (from 2021) 23.5 M last year, according to another commenter.

Witty is the CEO of the group. Thompson was only CEO of UnitedHealthcare - one of the parent conglomerates’ many subsidiaries.

The weekly post is a good idea. I’ll look into maybe creating a bot for that in the future.

But it would be nice to have a resource where you can easily leave a comment saying a community doesn’t exist anymore or it moved or whatever.

Couldn’t anyone just reply to the deleted community comment link with something like <community deleted>?

I think most communities wind up kinda just going idle rather than deleted. The big communities have such power in numbers, it’s very difficult to sustain them without a mass influx like TenForward did. A few others have succeeded.

I think this just gives a little tool to the small communities that might need it, and it could improve Lemmy overall with more interesting and active smaller communities. The top 50 communities should really be in a constant flux if Lemmy is going to improve over time. Preferably on not just LW as well…

already did :) the idea behind /c/index is just that it can be a passive tool for when people need it. I’ll consider a weekly post as someone else suggested to keep it active.

Is there a site that shows the status of all the lemmy servers? I saw the graph in your link, but I don’t fully understand what it means.

Seems to be mostly just a list of largest communities because it uses active users, posts, and comments as metrics. Top five are /technology /worldnews /no stupid questions /news /games all at lemmy.world

If it had option to filter newest community & scaled activity that would be neat. Lemmy needs some new communities, and the tools to allow them to grow - that’s what made reddit grow and improve (until enshittification smothered it).

Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don’t quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn’t Lemmy be close to real time? I don’t fully understand what’s going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?

As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.

I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That’s what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they’re either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.

It’s impossible really to say. This was their official code citation:

Over the past few months, we have carefully recomputed historical votes on posts and comments to remove outdated, unnecessary rules.

I mean on the face of it, maybe they were telling the truth?

But they are a for profit corporation, and that year forward was when the enshittification really began. I guess I just have little reason to believe that they didn’t just alter the algorithm to make it look like there was more engagement than there was.

Well that’s a good point. I guess it’s up to users to share the link to keep it alive.

This recalculation happened shortly after reddit went closed source. I don’t think we should trust their word that they had all of a sudden ‘fixed’ the problem, whose fix just so happened to really drive their stock value.

It’s not misleading, it’s the reality of what happened. Their public post was PR justification. It was about that point on that every decision they made was for $ and not for transparency.

@JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works , sorry I didn’t have it in the sidebar when you posted, can you edit your comment with a short description of what sticks is? thanks!

The idea behind this community is to allow everyone to “create” the list of active and interesting communities without having to rely on moderators to manually curate, which typically results in links to out-of-date and inactive communities.

I hadn’t seen it here, I was scrolling through several pages of new communities and it was pretty much the only new active community.

I was trying to find some new communities to create an index for everyone (!index@lemmy.world) - or rather a community designed to allow people to make suggestions and upvote/downvote the actual “curated” list without moderator involvement.
