Seems the replacement for adsbexchange is up and running now. The link below is to the web site with info on how to feed.
@wiedehopf has written the scripts to feed.

Are you sure?
The setup script at line 264 starts to install readsb from his github page.
Appreciate everything is open source but guessing he had some involvement, and why not, he and James put quite a bit of work into the adsbX system.

I just now checked the site https://github.com/adsbfi/adsb-fi-scripts, and found the commits by @wiedehopf are between 2020 and August 2022, which period is before take over of Adsbexchange. Later commits are by other programers. It seems @wiedehopf build it for some friends in 2020, and did some updates in August 2022.

OK, agreed.
Just now installed adsb.fi feed on my 3 RPi’s
What’s the difference between Adsb.fi and adsbX ?They look the same.
Couple of hours ago I added adsb.fi feed to my 3 RPis. Just before that, the total feeders were 787, which by addition of my 3 feeds became 790. Now I see that in these couple of hours, 5 more feeders have been added as total is now 795. Good growth.

All setup and feeding my data as well. With such a smaller network, coverage is obviously nowhere near ADSBx, but hopefully it continues to grow.

Installed on my feeder and now 801 sites contributing.

I think you have started a trend.
Setting aside the adsb exchange controversy that led to adsb.fi being established, feeding them provides an opportunity to see how few sites are needed to give reasonable coverage in a particular area (in my case, around Melbourne, Australia). You can also see how each new site fills in the overage at different altitudes.
When I started feeding there were only two or three sites nearby, and none to the South in Tasmania. Now there nine sites - it will be interesting to watch the coverage evolve.

As far as trends go, Credit goes to @wiedehopf and @abcd567. Both of these have contributed to this Flightaware and now adsb.fi above and beyond. My thanks to both.
And as far as comparing to ADSBx, the appropriate term is YET.

Yes, I have contributed to Flightaware community in the form of HowTos, Guides, PPA for 64-bit piaware packages, and scripts to build 64-bit packages from source code.
No, I have NOT contributed anything to adsb.fi or adsb.fi community, yet. The adsbfi Github site was initially built in 2020 by @wiedehopf, and subsequently updated by him in Aug 2022.
Ok, I added my site as a feeder.
I got one error message during the install:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
rm -f *.o uat2esnt/*.o compat/clock_gettime/*.o compat/clock_nanosleep/*.o readsb viewadsb cprtests crctests convert_benchmark
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
But I don’t think it matters. Seems to be working.

@jimMerk2 : Yes, I also got same error message on all my 3 RPis during installation. I simply ignored it and everything is working OK.
@wiedehopf : There is one thing I have noted on adsbfi Network map. Out of my following 3 RPis, only any one is displayed.
00-01-abcd567
00-02-abcd567
00-03-abcd567
Added my two sites, counting 844 now.

Can’t quite get my head round github’s commits for development of programs but understand what you are saying.
