Traffic page isn't operational

It says at the top:

WARNING, THIS PAGE IS NON-OPERATIONAL ON SAIDIT. IT MAY BE FIXED SOMEDAY IF THERE IS DEMAND.

This is my official request to have it fixed :)

Being able to see surges in activity helps us mods know to keep a close eye on new posts and comments to mitigate brigading and harassment, as well as when we can relax and go back to our status quo.

Plus, it's just funzies to see how we grow and share that with our users.

Yeah sorry it's broken and will probably stay that way. The backend for that page is a nightmare and takes a lot of server resources so we haven't seen a good way to fix it. But if someone wants to dig through the code and help us fix it, then I'd be willing to incorporate the code in to our codebase https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

u/d3rr - wondering if you could also add this to the SaidIt issues/priority list? It's still something I would love to see updated at some point in the future, especially as the site grows.

im happy to add this to github. this is super hard though and without additional devs it will probably never happen. same with automod enhancements. if you want to try to code it up i can assist.

Thank you!!!

I'm more of a front-end coder myself. I enjoy certain languages on the back-end, typically OOO, but am not a dev. I WISH I could help, I totally would, I just don't have the skill and would muck things up even worse.

I understand these things may not happen anytime soon, and/or not until much later in the future, or maybe not even at all. I appreciate you adding them to the list though, so they don't get forgotten, and maybe other helpful users/devs in the future can assist.

I agree, having these things as clear issues and feature requests is the way to go. Thanks for caring.

I'm hoping that the /s/freedit fork with take off, more devs will become interested, and this code base can live on. The architecture and feature set* is way more advanced than all of the other reddit alternatives, so it's kinda worth saving.
