FWIW, this decision was not taken lightly (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211881 for some of the history) and we are still hoping to re-enable server-side graph rendering in the future, but any such rendering would be with a totally new service ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T249419), as maintaining the previous Graphoid service was untenable. All current graphs can be retrieved as PNGs from the REST API <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/REST_API> if wikis prefer to use static images instead. (Examine current page sources to see the API calls.)
