Does anyone know why nodeinfo's localPosts value might go backwards?
I've noticed it happen with both hachyderm.io and noagendasocial.com but I haven't been tracking it for long so it might happen to others (and not just mastodon). It doesn't appear to be a field rollover. Also I don't know if it happens all at once or if it is incremental. I've just noticed a drop between two queries a number of hours apart. @feditips @asklemmy @nova @adam@noagendasocial.com

@danjones000 @asklemmy @nova I’ve seen some drop a significant amount, losing 1000 from 3000, on some instances. The small drops could be deletion and I hadn’t considered expiry. I don’t think either of these should influence that counter though as that would make it next to useless for stats gathering.

From a quick look at the code in particular this, I would guess the cache being emptied and not populated yet.

On another note, I'm unsure what it counts. Do Announce activities count as a status?
