I found some problems in yesterdays data. Primarily caused by a bug in the code (same Toots were collected over and over). I updated the Gist with the fixed code. https://gist.github.com/lucahammer/8e31fa100446c3b7c783a00bd006003a

For todays run I used my own list of #mastodon instances which I collected for the #fediverse visualization: https://vis.social/@Luca/100606625507856187
