I continued my New Years tradition of recapping the year that was at The New Leaf Journal (with the help of our site's fictional dialogue duo). In this post, I reviewed the 51 most-visited articles of the year (statistics courtesy of our local, open source, privacy-friendly hit counter, Koko Analytics... which also makes an appearance in the top 51), from an article about the fediverse at 51 to our Hacker News page 1-fueled #1. In addition to links to all 51 of our most-visited articles and monthly stats, you will find links to some of our 900+ un-ranked posts in the comments.
