there is a site called "fedimap" which displays approximate physical locations for each fediverse instance. super cool if you want to connect to people irl and want to find physically close organizations :)

Needs a legend chart. 5/5 Thanks. Sorting/Filtering if you’re feeling ludicrous :}

Btw what’s the update frequency?

Waaay too much effort was put into this. Goddamn. XD.

i think they took a list of all publicly accessible fediverse instances and then just looked up the IP address for each of them, and then the geographic location for each IP address. most of this process could be automated somehow, but you still need to create the website and the hella cool intro :D

A bit different, but if you like Fedi Mapping tools there's also Atlas by Ben Pate, built on his Emissary.

We tend to measure the time until the last layout shift in milliseconds when doing SEO. At our ~~company~~ website, it's minutes!
