It's not clear to me why the data set shrank between 2019/3 and 2022/6; was something excluded? Compression improvements?

StackOverflow is again available for download and offline use via Kiwix
SO was really hard to manage with its 21 million questions. For this reason, all StackExchanges will update monthly while SO will be every quarter only (until we fix that memory leak: there is a ticket opened to try and fix it, please have a look!).

Updated Stack Overflow zim file 2021-09-06
The Openzim/Kiwix folks are working on a rewrite of the scraper, sotoki , as it's all but unworkable. But there hasn't been a recent successful rerun yet. Back in June/July I managed to scrape together a process to get a working zim file until they finish and posted a version based off that DB dump.
What are some alternatives?
