In 2018, I tried to map the Fediverse for the first time: https://vis.social/@Luca/100606625507856187
Back then, I found 7788 instances that had over a million connections to each other.
Today, I want to create a new visualization. I am using the same script (https://gist.github.com/lucahammer/eb68fc43a34877a304e7b81e5f729c4b) and so far it seems work.
First issue: I only got additional info (domain count, status_count, user_count, version) about 273 instances. Not sure if most instances don't share that info or if the API changed and I have to update the script. Will look into it later (maybe).
@Luca hey, in case it might be of help, I hacked up a couple of functions in Python to ask for info from different Fediverse platforms: https://git.sr.ht/~tfardet/fediverse_net
Looking forward to see your new visualization :)
@tfardet thanks, that saves me quite some time.
