Map of 2000+ lemmy communities (danterious.codeberg.page)

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

This community has only two posts and a few comments. The algorithm has very few information on such tiny communities.

It would probably be useful to only include communities with a minimum amount of interaction to avoid such outliers.
