Fedivertex: lemmy cross_instance
A Fediverse (lemmy, cross_instance graph) dataset of 557 nodes, 4,701 edges (24 snapshots merged), collected by Damie & Cyffers via weekly crawls over 6 months. Each record contains undirected edges between instances that communicate across different software platforms. The dataset is notable for its undirected graph of communication between instances, specifically capturing how different servers interact across the broader Fediverse. Intended for research into cross-platform communication analysis, inter-server community detection, and federated network structure studies.
