Halibutt, I could finally find out what the problem was (or at least *one* problem was).
You uploaded some cohorts with special characters in their description: "Wikiwarsztaty dla Małopolskiego Instytutu Kultury, Kraków, kwiecień 2015", which should be completely fine. However, it seems Wikimetrics crashes if this happens! So it *is* a bug. Sorry for that! I filed a task in Phabricator, our bug tracking system: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100781 We'll fix this in short. I also removed the descriptions of your cohorts, so you can continue to use Wikimetrics, until we fix the issue. Please, let me know if this indeed solved your problems. Cheers!
