My FediWatch tool is still in very alpha stage, but if you feel lucky, try out https://watch.metalhead.club and watch our instance communicate with the rest of the Fediverse :)
(server-to-server communication only - user data is not analyzed!)
@db0 It's still in testing, therefore I have not published it, yet. And it's currently for Mastodon, only. Maybe it can be changed to support Lemmy, too.
@db0 the interface to Mastodon is actually just a Redis Pub/sub interface. A small patch for the Mastodon source makes Mastodon write the names of connected hosts to Redis. The hostnames are then retrieved by my tool, and translated into coordinates.
If there is a way to publish the hostnames of connected AP nodes to Redis, it should work for Lemmy as well.
@thomas Oh that sounds simple enough I could easily cook up a little python script to extract them from the DB or access.log into a redis and then have your app pull them on the other side. Do let me know when you have something you can share :)
@mdosch hehe ;-) Ja. War an sich ein cooles Tool damals, aber man musste eine besondere Prosody Erweiterung installieren. Das war irgendwie quick und dirty damals, wirklich viele haben nicht mitgemacht, ich wollte das Tool umbauen und am Ende hatte ich nicht mehr ausreichend Zeit. Mal sehen, wie es hiermit läuft. :D
