Largest public instance is just short of a million. I think there are a lot of closed instances that don’t peer with any others. My guess is, the peering graph (with people doing weak ties) is likely very sparse and most just have relations with mastodon dot social or nothing

By peering graph I mean active cross-talk and cross-server follows. Not just structural pipe. Flow in the pipe. From what I recall from my mastodon tour of duty, there wasn’t a whole lot in my instance. Serendipity factor fairly low.

After hanging out on a new Mastodon instance for a few days, I feel like the critical issue is it can't figure out if it wants to be Discord or Twitter so it can't do either of them right. There are the seeds of something great there but it needs to decide to BE Twitter first.

Get someone to set up a yak instance, post your handle here, and start tooting (dumb word). Let the legibility emerge. The map makes no sense unless you are in the territory.
