Comparing a few feeds:

• @xuu@txt.sour.is would see an increase of ~20%
  
• @falsifian@www.falsifian.org would see an increase of ~8%
  
• @bender@twtxt.net would see an increase of ~20%
  
• @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org would see an increase of ~15%
  
• @aelaraji@aelaraji.com would see an increase of ~13%
  
• @sorenpeter@darch.dk would see an increase of ~8%
  
• @movq@www.uninformativ.de would see an increase of ~9%
