About

fediverse.space is a tool to visualize networks and communities on the fediverse. It works by crawling every instance it can find and aggregating statistics on communication between these.

You can follow the project on Mastodon, and read more about what I'm up to on my website.


FAQ

Why can't I see details about my instance?

fediverse.space only supports servers using the Mastodon API, the Misskey API, the GNU Social API, or Nodeinfo. Instances with 10 or fewer users won't be crawled -- it's a tool for understanding communities, not individuals.

When is $OTHER_FEDIVERSE_SERVER going to be added?

How do I add my personal instance?

Click on the Administration link in the top right to opt-in.

How do you calculate the strength of relationships between instances?

fediverse.space looks at public statuses from within the last month on the public timeline of each instance. It calculates at the ratio ofmentions of an instance / total statuses. It uses a ratio rather than an absolute number of mentions to reflect that smaller instances can play a large role in a community.
