Interactive Mastodon Hashtag Network: https://lucahammer.at/vis/fediverse/2018-08-29-mastoverse_hashtags/
You can search for hashtags and instances.
Clicking on a #hashtag shows the instances it was recently used on.
Clicking on a instance shows the hashtags that were recently used there.
I am investigating why there are instances missing. Could be a problem with data collection or export.
I found some problems in yesterdays data. Primarily caused by a bug in the code (same Toots were collected over and over). I updated the Gist with the fixed code. https://gist.github.com/lucahammer/8e31fa100446c3b7c783a00bd006003a
For todays run I used my own list of #mastodon instances which I collected for the #fediverse visualization: https://vis.social/@Luca/100606625507856187

Zach moved to new instance@Luca Used this to explore hashtag usage and find someone to follow on another instance I never would have encountered otherwise. 👍
codesectionsVery cool!
When you select an instance and get the Information Pane on the right, what's the sort order for the hashtags listed under "connections"? It doesn't appear to be the most commonly used hashtags
@codesections To be honest: I don't know. I used the default sigmaJS Exporter in Gephi and only tweaked some settings.
Thanks. Another question: what do the colors of the lines mean?
@codesections They indicate clusters. Calculated by the Modularity algorithm. Because of the mixed nodes, not very meaningful.
Ondřej PokornýYou can use http://www.unmung.com/mastoview?url=s10y.eu&view=local to preview local timelines. I hope that it will some day possible to visit/pin them from within tootsuite and other clients.

you can pin a instance with the mastalab app, available for android

Well I guess a few bots and a few fetishists can really impact these top stats.

Once this gets a few more instances from my corner of the #fediverse, it will be very cool!
(Sadly, it currently seems to be missing most of the #tech/#foss/#linux section of the 'verse)
@codesections I am collecting new data as we write. I found a bad bug as well, which probably caused me to only get 40 Toots per instance. And I switched to using the instances I collected myself.
AlexQ@Luca
Doesn't seem to work on Ff-mobile, but on desktop it worked great. I saved to myself. Saw some of my tags.
Very cool.
🪦@Luca Yes, todon.nl is clearly missing.
@jeroenpraat It was in the seed list. Not sure why it didn't make it into the visualization.
@Luca Hopefully it will be in the next revision.
