Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover and search for active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis) (lemmy.zip)

To see it in action:

Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)

Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch

Example of search for 'movies'

No it's not. It's just a way to sort by active weekly users, but you can mix and match by filtering with feeds which you can't do on Lemmy.

    Lemmy's view does not allow to search and keep the data about active users, you immediately get into this view that doesn't show active users

    Indeed. You can also search a term and then sort by active users, or filter it by a feed. But I think there needs to be some UI cleanup on the feed drop down box as that is going to be really, really long as people on different instances make new feeds

    What would a Feed/multicomms' actively weekly users even be? An aggregate of all the comms weekly users, or just the highest one? Or does Piefed go through all the comms and collect the unique actors (God, that would be an expensive operation)?
