You should’ve seen this place when maga activist was killed last year. Also can’t see none of your images except last two, lol.

I wonder what metrics provided by fediverse are actually reliable. E.g. views count on PeerTube videos are not, they can be adjusted by instance admin to his liking, lol.

Nothing. All points randomly placed on a 2D plane, then forces are applied to them - all points are trying to move away from each other, but if 2 points are connected with an edge - they are attracted to each other. Check out this interactive demo of force-directed graph

Try image with white legend in bottom left corner.

If there were real communities of instances in Peertube, they would’ve been visible in those pictures above, but looks like there are none. Everyone is kinda connected to everyone, no place for significant disjoint sets of videos. I hope one day at least NSFW instances will start moving away from the main hairy ball.

for this context, it seems very counter-intuitive

That’s very probable. Wait till I will get a graph where edges represent “blocks” relationships, will run same algorithm and will again say it’s centrality.

Sort this table by Total videos descending and click first instance, is it exactly what you want? https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalVideos

I agree, “reachability” better explains this metric. But “centrality” is a well-defined term from graph theory. Also, center usually is easiest to reach from any given point (e.g. in cities). As for amount of active users, local videos or number of outgoing “follows” relationships for any instance - those metrics do not need a colorful picture and they nicely fit into this table: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances

Thank you, it looks very useful. It even has an API endpoint: https://federation-checker.vercel.app/api/check?hostname=mander.xyz
