I am interested in checking out the historical growth of a particular community. Lemmy Explorer crawls for data about the Lemmyverse every 24 hours or something, and that data is made available on their website. But I can only find where to download the latest data. Is there somewhere that I can find historical data? Does Lemmy Explorer archive these anywhere, or does it just overwrite the previous data each time it crawls?
Mostly because Lemmy has a hard time keeping up with the federation

Oh, right. The chat on GitHub is over my head, but I would have thought that solving the problem of instances sending every activity 2 or 3 times would help with that, since even rejecting something as a duplicate must eat up some time.
