@Gargron what do the colours mean?
@samis modularity classes
@Gargron maybe tweet it out as well?
@maloki this is a shitty render
@Gargron Sorry, I meant the INFO, the other toot :) the one with the call to action :)
@gargron probably the only way to include all the instance names in a graph this size is to either render at absurd resolution and/or vectorized, or do something interactive/zoomable
@Gargron 3D version? Might be more manageable in VR. (And more cyberpunk.)
@Gargron seconding a desire to see an interactive version! Thx for everything!
@Gargron It may not be greatly useful from a data visualization perspective, but it gives a broadly generalized impression of how folks are interconnected and that's kind of nifty.
@Gargron I can see my house
@Gargron Would love to see an interactive version of this that I can fly about and see how things relate.
this'd probably be the solution, yeah -- a level of detail enabled diagram
(but it'd be a fuckload of work, and I'm not suggesting it's something anybody should feel obligated to get into doing -- just noting that I think this idea would work)
@Gargron This looks like abstract art and would look great printed huge and hung on the wall of the Mastodon Offices
@Gargron I can see my house from here!
@Gargron Damn son, where'd you find this?
@Gargron what does the colors represent?
@Gargron it's a smirking lama head, see?
@Gargron I would like to send a big toot-lab shoutout to the rest of the purple pouet party participants, can you forward this for me
@Gargron i'll try to do a high-res render on my 24-core Xeon desktop tonight
@Gargron that pareidolia o___o
@Gargron that would be a great addition to mnm.social ^^ cc @eliotberriot
@eliotberriot @Gargron top 100 would look cool: something like this https://web.archive.org/web/20170608185643/https://radar.amberstone.digital/chart/fediverse
@eliotberriot @Gargron the top 100 could be exported and with d3.js you can make things like https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/7607535 and https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4063269. Maybe I have to learn some dev skills ^^
@Jelv @Gargron you can even make it realtime if you query @TheKinrar API -> https://instances.social/api/doc/#api-Instances-ListInstances
I don't know how to make this graph not completely unreadable so this is all you get from me, just wanted to test if the data works, it kinda does.
