Is anybody publishing average fees, transaction count, or estimated number of daily users for LN?

I get that the network can't know this with any level of certainty. But, somebody out there must be publishing some data, at least as seen by their node or business.
The two sources who have posted material, anecdotes, that I know of are:
  • LN Markets
  • Umbrel
...but it's not a timeseries of data. Maybe somebody out there has a couple of nodes, specifically attempting to measure/infer network attributes. Wondering if you guys know something.

Arcane Research's State of Lightning report is the closest that I know of. They're planning on doing updates every 6 months or so. https://www.research.arcane.no/the-state-of-lightning

Thank you; but the 1ml site doesn't quite hit the mark; it doesn't track utilization. But that paywall'd data is some of what I'm after, but it's still not a time-series and the period of time is not clear. I still paid for it, got 69 rows of yield per peer type of information, and below is the descriptive statistics from the set.
count  69.000000
mean    0.020715
std     0.021987
min     0.001244
25%     0.011674
50%     0.015828
75%     0.022553
max     0.178503

I'm not aware of any. I suspect the best place to look for this kind of data sharing is in telegram groups dedicated to routing. The only other type of data sharing I'm aware of is more general, like "I'm making X amount routing."
