Instead of algorithms why don't we create a map of Lemmy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

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.
