The text search on Piefed is similar to Lemmyverse. Example for ‘movies’

Is this different to Lemmy’s communities tab sorted by ‘Top Week’, which sorts by weekly active users?
IMO, the main advantage of Lemmyverse is the better text search and presentation.

So basically this? p.feddit.uk/search?q=movies&type=Communities&sort…

You still don’t see the number of weekly active users.
On Piefed, it’s the ‘Active people’ column, where you can see the numbers without having to go to each community. Lemmy (and Photon in this case) only show subscribers, which isn’t an accurate metric as most of them are ghost accounts.

The active user counts are returned, suppose we just need a client that actually displays it.

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 information, 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)?
Blaze@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
It’s the opposite, you only see the communities from a certain feed

Oh, within a multicomm. That makes sense now I think about it.
