Both platforms offer unique features, but also come with limitations. While Lemmy offers diverse content, it lacks robust tag metadata for organizing and searching images. On the other hand, boorus excel at categorizing images with tags but lack the discussion and the diverse content from Lemmy. Why haven't we seen a platform that combines the best of both worlds? How do you envision it would be like?

Last month, I developed a script because lemmy.ml had become too slow. Unfortunately, I have the same problem again, but this time there are too many instances to evaluate, causing the script to take an excessively long time to complete. I'm seeking advice on how to enhance the script to simultaneously ping multiple instances. Are there any alternative scripts available that might provide a more efficient solution?

git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-stats-crawler
cd lemmy-stats-crawler
cargo run -- --json > stats.json

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import json
import time
import requests
import requests.exceptions

from typing import List, Dict

TIME_BETWEEN_REQUESTS = 5  # 10 * 60 = 10 minutes
TIME_TOTAL = 60  # 8 * 60 * 60 = 8 hours


def get_latency(domain):
    try:
        start = time.time()
        if not domain.startswith(("http://", "https://")):
            domain = "https://" + domain
        requests.get(domain, timeout=3)
        end = time.time()
        return end - start
    except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
        return float("inf")


def measure_latencies(domains, duration):
    latencies = {}
    start_time = time.time()
    end_time = start_time + duration
    while time.time() < end_time:
        latencies = measure_latencies_for_domains(domains, latencies)
        time.sleep(TIME_BETWEEN_REQUESTS)
    return latencies


def measure_latencies_for_domains(domains, latencies):
    for domain in domains:
        latency = get_latency(domain)
        latencies = add_latency_to_domain(domain, latency, latencies)
    return latencies


def add_latency_to_domain(domain, latency, latencies):
    if domain not in latencies:
        latencies[domain] = []
    latencies[domain].append(latency)
    return latencies


def average_latencies(latencies):
    averages = []
    for domain, latency_list in latencies.items():
        avg_latency = sum(latency_list) / len(latency_list)
        averages.append((domain, avg_latency))
    return averages


def sort_latencies(averages):
    return sorted(averages, key=lambda x: x[1])


def get_latency_report(domains, duration):
    latencies = measure_latencies(domains, duration)
    averages = average_latencies(latencies)
    return sort_latencies(averages)


def get_instances(data: Dict) -> List[Dict]:
    instances = []
    for instance_details in data["instance_details"]:
        instances.append(instance_details)
    return instances


def get_domains(instances: List[Dict]) -> List[str]:
    return [instance["domain"] for instance in instances]


def load_json_data(filepath: str) -> Dict:
    with open(filepath) as json_data:
        return json.load(json_data)


def main():
    data = load_json_data('stats.json')
    instances = get_instances(data)
    domains = get_domains(instances)
    report = get_latency_report(domains, TIME_TOTAL)
    for domain, avg_latency in report:
        print(f"{domain}: {avg_latency:.2f} seconds")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The primary incentive that comes to mind is improved availability. Often, instances can become slow, so I use another. By hosting a local instance I could always have a smooth experience.

Scores are federated, resulting in a consistent global feed across instances and a lack of uniqueness for each instance. I wish hosting an instance provided a more customized experience like this. It would be a great incentive.
