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:

    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

    So it’s a map of the top 35 instances for the last month instead of a map of Lemmy.
