Communities only feature in one or the other. Active User Growth is prioritised over Subscriber Growth, but 196's AU growth dropped today (it went from 0 to 4k to 7k over the week, but it's on about 6.5k now)
There's nothing like that that's preventing it being listed.
The community was started 2025-01-19 17:37:24 - less than 4 days ago as I'm writing this. The bot gets it's data from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, but not much - it's got about 3 days of data on it.
It needs 7 days, because it works by taking a rolling average of the previous 7 days. You'd see some crazy results if it started publishing results earlier. Doubly so because that community hasn't really grown organically, and has benefitted a lot from Fediverse drama.
I can see 'NodeBB/4.x' in my NGINX log, when this forum Announced this post, and when it's retrieved my user details.
It's just that though, not the +website that everything else seems to have.
There you go @neatobuilds@lemmy.today, !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today has finally appeared!
Users per day is a bit too volatile - it's showing 2/day atm - so the bot uses Users per Week. Also, the data is from a crawler, so there's a bit of lag, and it can end up picking up on activity that's already been and gone.
Apologies to anyone browsing by 'New Comments', but I'm using this old post for a bit of cheeky testing in production.

Edited to remove hexbear@hexbear and add it to the filtered communities (and remove main@hexbear from filtered communities, which I'd mistakenly thought was their meta one).
Yeah - it's what I use for testing stuff (it's a bit underpowered though: 1 core CPU, 1 GB Ram). I made that comment partly to verify how it would be announced back to me from .world (except I forgot to subscribe first). Anyway, now mastodon.social is aware of me, and is very keen on telling me about accounts that have been deleted (I swear that site has deleted more accounts that could ever have been created).
I looked up lemmy.ml out of interest (I realise you aren't classifying it as generalist). Anyway: it says that the server is in France.
Also, if you're able to lookup by IP instead of URL, you can bypass any CloudFlare confusion, and confirm that LW is hosted in Finland.
