How would you?
No clue, not familiar with Matrix to that level.
I mean, that's not specific to Matrix. Telemetry is the tool used to get the numbers, so I don't see how you would collect numbers on servers that don't report numbers.
Theoretically they could be reported by federated servers that do have it enabled
But you would miss all the numbers from non-federated instances.
Im surprised there are zero calls to any official matrix server(s) from those instances.
Not even random API for metadata, update status, etc?
Telemtry is a word. It only means as much as it means in each context, and without full context it means little atm.
Do you have a resource where I could learn more about what data Matrix considers telemetry?
The whole point of not being federated is not to call the other servers. I don't run a server but I hope it's not calling home if specifically configured to not be federated.
