I am interested in checking out the historical growth of a particular community. Lemmy Explorer crawls for data about the Lemmyverse every 24 hours or something, and that data is made available on their website. But I can only find where to download the latest data. Is there somewhere that I can find historical data? Does Lemmy Explorer archive these anywhere, or does it just overwrite the previous data each time it crawls?
So you’re looking for something like subredditstats.com for Lemmy communities?

I think it over-writes every time. If you just want subscriber numbers, I've got data going back to to last July. Let me know what community you're after, and I'll send it to you.

Do you happen to have subscriber data on !caps@lemmy.world?

I was hoping for more than just that, but any data you have on !chevron7@lemmy.world would be appreciated!

Hmmm. This might not help you much. That community was launched on 2024-01-22, with a page full of posts, so by the time the crawler picked up on it, it was already at 501 subs, 23 posts.
It lost 15 posts on 2024-02-12 (Stamets?).
There’s data missing from 2024-02-26 - 2024-03-01 (this data is from the bot at !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl; I think those days are missing because I changed it from measuring Active Users Month (AUM) to Active Users Week (AUW)).
In terms of active users, the jump on 2024-03-04 is due to lemmy.world ‘upgrading’ to 0.19.3.
