**Ciao, FediMeteo!** In the past few days FediMeteo seemed to be having some performance trouble. I dug into it and only found minor issues, until I realised the VM itself had fallen off a cliff. After several reboots it became clear that both bandwidth and I/O latency had dropped to absurd levels. I suspect the provider slapped a cap on it. So I took the chance to move everything to another VM and provider, still at 4 euro per month. And starting today, forecasts will be delivered straight from **Italy**. The performance jump feels like going from a storm to clear skies. FediMeteo’s mission goes on. More countries are coming (stay tuned!) and we will keep aiming to serve everything from a 4 euro VM. I do have powerful hardware available, but proving that the project can run on tiny resources is still part of the mission. #FediMeteo #FediMeteoAnnouncements #FediMeteoServices #VM #RunBSD #FreeBSD

## Fedimeteo: A look at the numbersI reviewed the latest data from the Fedimeteo network to pull out some statistics. One important note before looking at these figures: these numbers only reflect direct followers on the Fediverse. They do not account for people following via RSS feeds or those who check the web pages directly. That "hidden" audience is massive but effectively impossible to calculate, so we are strictly looking at the ActivityPub follower counts here. Each country has its own FreeBSD jail. **The Heavyweights: Germany vs. USA** While usfedim (USA) holds the top spot for total numbers with 1,813 followers, defedim (Germany) is remarkably close behind with 1,597. The difference lies in the density: the German community is concentrated around just 138 cities, whereas the US network is spread across a massive 1,243 locations. **Engagement Density** If we look at the ratio of followers per city, the European instances show the highest concentration of users. * *Germany** leads with roughly 11.6 followers for every city tracked. * *The UK** follows with 8.7 followers per city. * *Austria** sits at 7.7. In these regions, each city feed serves a comparatively larger group of locals. **The "Quiet" Instances** On the other end of the spectrum, some instances are maintaining a lot of data for a very exclusive audience. * *Malta (mtfedim)** is tracking 20 different cities but currently has only 2 followers. That is a ratio of 10 cities per follower. * *Slovakia (skfedim)** tracks 30 cities for just 8 followers. **The American Scale** The sheer size of the US infrastructure is an outlier. usfedim accounts for 42.6% of all tracked cities in the entire Fedimeteo network (1,243 out of 2,918), but it holds only 23.9% of the total followers. It is by far the largest instance in terms of output, even if the user base is more spread out than in Europe. **Small but Efficient** A special mention goes to **The Netherlands (`nlfedim`)**. With only 36 cities tracked, they have managed to gather 233 followers, making it one of the most efficient instances in terms of community interest relative to the number of locations tracked. #FediMeteo #FediMeteoStats
