I'm a data guy, I'm always curious of this kind of stuff.

The popular page already filters data by most favourited pictures of the day/week/month, I'd just kind of like to see some extra stats such as number of uploads in that day/week/month, total favourites, and average picture favourite count.

We should get a working stats page first. It was nuked from orbit.

And some new stats.

I think the "popular" viewer and certain stats could be implemented directly in post searches.

also, https://trends.anthro.fr/ is a bit like that maybe
