I have a fair amount of experience with data visualization, analysis etc and thought it would be a fun project to try to visualize the Lemmy network, specifically which instances have strong links to one another via subscriptions from users in one to communities in the other.
How/where can I get that data?
EDIT: It sounds like many people would find this a violation of their data privacy and I simply shouldn’t do it. I had thought this kind of data was intended to be entirely accessible by design, but I learned something new!
Probably would need to scrap this data from all the various instances to build up the dataset:
I mean the fediverse isn’t exactly super mature; from what I know you should expect that you’ll have to generate that data yourself some way or another.
