The jerboa app does this, and it helps when searching for a community to see how many people use it, especially when there are multiple across different instances.

That said, I don’t really know how accurate their number is so maybe it’s not super viable

    That’s a super insightful answer. That makes a ton of sense. I’m still very new to the federation stuff so I appreciate the extra knowledge. Should I leave this post up then, or take it Down since at least for now it’s a bit convoluted?

      It’s a reasonable feature request and with this discussion thread some of the invisible complexity is exposed a bit for consideration. I think it’s sensible to leave the post up, and the dev(s) can decide what to prioritize and how they want to design something like this if they choose to work on it.
