"138 people paying attention to #ukraine."
Where do you get that number from? Is it the number of people currently viewing the tag, the number of people currently viewing any toot containing that tag, or the number of people that have subscribed to the tag?
@sibrosan @wasabikev This is the number of people who mentioned the tag in last 12 hours. https://blogofy.com/ reviews Mastodon feeds and tracks this on hourly basis to look for patterns. The data and related tags are helpful in understanding discussions. Visit the website to see more about related content which it notices.
Its important to point out that #blogofy is only touching a subset of all Mastodon servers, focuses on English speakers more, but its statistically significant to understand patterns.
