Thanks, I thought I tried that the other day and didn't work but may be it's my i2prouter issue.
Usually I2P is super reliable... I actually have two routers in two different continents optimized for multi-homing to serve as the HTTP tunnel to the site. If the site is up, the I2P site is up.
BUT, the other day I moved everything away from Cloudflare (clearnet site) which meant I had to reissue the SSL certificate. In doing so it borked some of the alternative network configurations I had setup in nginx. For 12-16 hours I2P was inaccessible and that was 100% my fault for not testing each network connection. Somehow I2P and Lokinet was responding funnily afterwards.
I2P should be reliable (again) moving forward.

That's not the point of the info graphic, though.

What's the i2p address, please?

I enjoyed your quick review, thanks.

Okay! After some quick review.
I stopped using Cloudflare a few days ago, but according to them the last 30 days had (for clearnet only):
- Unique Visitors: 9,101
- Total Requests: 2,790,988
Today so far, via some log analyzing tools from all traffic sources:
Total Requests 46784 Unique Visitors 619
Keep in mind that 'unique visitors' will always be incorrect because every request from the Tor network (onion service only) looks the same. Every request from I2P is logged as one of two addresses from the I2P routers that I have creating the HTTP tunnel to the site, every request from LokiNet looks the same as well. This means you can't tell the difference between Onion_UserA and Onion_UserB. But that number DOES include bots/crawlers/spiders as well...
In fact, after review, I'm not certain how I came to my previous determination of saying clearnet was 60+% of traffic, Tor 30%~, etc. I'm not going to go into detail on how logs are kept but there isn't enough data kept to do good analysis and the data I'm using now won't exist 'soon' for later review, either.
Like, for example today it shows 68.68% of visitor's IP is the internal Tor Onion service IP. So, according to what I'm seeing, (today), 69% (kek) of traffic has been from the Tor Onion service (http:// rambleeeqrhty6s5jgefdfdtc6tfgg4jj6svr4jpgk4wjtg3qshwbaad.onion )
In short: I don't really know. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I just know Clearnet, Tor and I2P are the biggest networks. I support Loki and Yggdrasil out of principle and less because we get many visitors from them.
This site launched at the beginning of December so I'll say that I'm happy with the level of activity that exists and hope it continues to grow.

I'll look more into it soon. It's sort of hard to figure out without running proper analytic software but I'll give it a crack.

good amount of clearnet and onion but everything else small small margins

Thanks! I wanted site owner's feeling. Informative. Numbers of connections, GETs, or POSTs... hard to choose and count, it may be.
Does "Tor about 30%" include users coming from clearnet of Tor exit node as well as from onion? If No, onion users are more than what I expected. I2P users are just more.
Rambler wrote
In order of popularity: Clearnet, Tor, then I2P. Loki and Yggdrasil combined make up probably about 1% of total traffic. Clearnet is about 60-65% and Tor is about 30%.
It's kind of hard to measure but that is the general gist from trying to figure this out myself recently.

Even only in Tor users, a ratio of the users are: clearnet(exit) : onion = 96.6 : 3.4. If onion users are more than the ratio with some reason (advertised in Reddit /r/onions, etc.), it may be: clearnet : onion = 100 : x<5.
Reference: https://blog.torproject.org/some-statistics-about-onions
Note: this was data in 2015, but now in 2021, it may be mostly same.

I'd give onion a higher share. But I have no idea, really.

The search and RSS feeds could certainly be better, I agree.
For search, the best thing to do now is do something like this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aramble.pw%2Ff%2Fprivacy+signal+app&t=h_&ia=web
Search query: site:ramble.pw/f/privacy signal app
and that'll search /f/privacy for posts/threads containing, 'signal app'. The site gets crawled on the other networks too, I believe you can do the same query with legwork.i2p as well.

They weren't even fights.
The creator of the Postmill software, Emma, doesn't like people using her software unless they align with her politically 100%. Honestly, we probably agree on more things than we disagree on.
As seen by today's earlier targeted brigade of porn being spammed on the site it also shows they're extremely childish. I'm not saying it was her (Postmill Emma), but definitely from her lackeys from jstpst and/or raddle.
Like, porn is allowed here. If her software had the ability to move a post to a different forum I would have just moved it all to one of the dozens of gay porn forums they made but didn't use, instead they just spammed it on /f/pics, /f/memes, etc. While it's "not my thing", that content is legal and allowed. Like all other adult content, it should be in it's own forum. Simple stuff.

Good luck for fighting spams! Btw, your emotional discussion fights on jstpst, it must have really triggered a part of them? Btw, btw I enjoyed the fights! :D

I guess we're a far-right site now.
To these sorts of people, anyone who isn't radical left is far-right.
I used to consider myself liberal. Now liberals believe in no free speech and giving hormones to five-year-olds. My views didn't change, but the liberals sure did. Now they consider me far right as well.

You must have really triggered them because it caused a brigade of people, I'll assume from Raddle (because too many people for me to believe from jstpst) to spam the site with gay porn.
If they're reading this, that content is allowed. Just create your own forum for it. Spamming default forums in a coordinated attempt to be annoying will result in a ban. Participating in good faith and posting that content in forums dedicated to it, that's fine by me.

I created an account there a couple months ago to see what the fuss was about and they had some nice features implemented. Didn't stick around long enough to get involved with the content. Looks like registration is closed and I can't remember what my name was on there anyhow. Oh well.
