Instead of algorithms why don't we create a map of Lemmy?

A neat idea. How do we decide who goes where though?
The map up above checks how similar two subreddits are by checking how much overlap the people that comment in both communities there is. It could be the same as that or maybe something different.
The easiest would be to have countries similar to how it had in the map of reddit be the instances and show the connections between subscribers maybe.

Subreddits? They are called communities here.
I know I was talking about how the map I linked to worked which is based on reddit.

Oh ok. Mb
I was picturing a graphical map with circles for the communities at different sizes for the amount of traffic. It could be based on proximity for how much overlap there was in user posts and comments, and also by category, color the circles by instance maybe too? Like make it waaay more visible and accessible than Reddit. Somebody must have the chops to make something like that here, right?
