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!
I didn’t know that about the plans. I thought it was by design. Thanks I won’t do this project then
Well, I am not any official representative of Lemmy. My belief in what the plans are or were are based on things I’ve read with also no citation. Best if you were to find out from the Lemmy development team and from Lemmy instance hosters. They’re the ones with the authority, history, and investment that can accurately tell you what’s what.
