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:

So number of dots is number of communities, but the data relies on comments to those communities to appear in the set?

Yeah pretty much. I wanted to see communities that had similar people that commented because I thought that would be a good way to see if there were similar kinds of discussions were happening in those communities.
