Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

SeaweedFS fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files and datalake
If you're talking about this https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh ... Iroh is a p2p file syncing protocol. That's not even close to the same wheelhouse as SeaweedFS?

I Moved My Blog from IPFS to a Server
Totally biased founder here, but I work on https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh, a thing that started off as an IPFS implementation in rust, but we broke out & ended up doing our own thing. We're not at the point where the iroh implements "the full IPFS experience" (some parts border on impossible to do while keeping a decentralized promise), but we're getting closer to the "p2p website hosting" use case each week.

Willow Protocol
if you are looking for something similar to ipfs but a bit more minimalistic and performance oriented, check out iroh https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh .
It is a set of open source libraries for peer to peer networking and content-addressed storage. It is written in rust, but we have bindings to many languages.
One part of iroh is a work in progress implementation of the willow spec. The lower layers include a networking library similar to libp2p and a library for content-addressed storage and replication based on blake3 verified streaming.
Most iroh developers have been active in the ipfs community for many years and have shared similar frustrations... See this talk from me in 2019 :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzu0xtCT-R0

Iroh: A New Implementation of IPFS in Rust
We have an initial release out since earlier today: https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh/releases/tag/v0.1.0 but we are still very early, so be gentle :)

ACM SIGCOMM'22: Design and Evaluation of IPFS
(Disclosure: I work for the Filecoin Foundation/Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web).
I do actually agree that the privacy and anonymity aspects of IPFS are not well- conveyed. I think people get hooked on the "censorship-resistant" nature of decentralized systems, without understanding that even if you have multiple sources, for instance in a content-addressable network like IPFS, aggressive censorship systems have other strategies to dissuade dissemination or punish readers. You always have to be thinking a few steps ahead. Services like Tor and, I hope, the IPFS network both try to convey what threat models they are useful for, and which they are not, but it's really hard to stop overenthusiastic re-statements that give them super-powers they do not, in fact, possess.
That said, there's a bunch of careful thinking right now going on about how IPFS's privacy story could be improved: https://blog.ipfs.tech/ipfs-ping-2022-recap/ has a couple of sessions on this, and is a great summary of some other recent developments in the space.
One of those improvements is in the point about nodes being high CPU, RAM, etc. (I actually find this to be more of a challenge when running the full IPFS Go node locally on my desktop, rather than on a VPS; it requires some tweaking.)
The strategy right now is to encourage more implementations of IPFS to cover more use-cases; the original go-ipfs had to do everything, including maintaining some legacy decisions. Nowadays, there's a lot of effort on alternative IPFS implementations that can be slimmer, or optimised for particular scenarios, e.g. on an embedded device, serving a high-load web gateway, or providing millions of files. Protocol Labs recently renamed their canonical go-ipfs to kubo (https://github.com/ipfs/kubo ) to make it more of a peer with other implementations.
Of course, I love all these new generation implementations EQUALLY, but if you pushed me, I've enjoyed playing around with https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh , a modular rust implementation building off the increasingly robust rust libp2p etc libraries. There's some more to pick from here: https://docs.ipfs.tech/basics/ipfs-implementations/

Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift
There are a few client options; the most widely used one (to my knowledge) is https://github.com/ipfs/kubo for CLI. There's also a desktop client that's pretty nice: https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/ipfs-desktop/

Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS
I'd like to point out that you probably cloned https://github.com/ipfs/kubo there, which is only one part of what accounts for the "IPFS codebase". If you want to find out the actual LoC, I'm afraid you will need to dig through https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/go.mod and pick everything that's https://github.com/ipfs/*.

Alternative to Youtube Vimeo
I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.
