After the Apicalipse there was a website where you could see which instance de/federates with others, as a map. It’s url was https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ but I guess it went down with feddit.de I found even a screenshot in a thread:

screenshot of lemmymap

Currently with the instances button you can see defederation from one direction, but not from the other, e.g. if an instance is defederated by a lot others you can’t see that easily.

Does something like this exist?

      It was a nice map. If it still works I will try to redeploy it.

      Edit: This is an early prototype of the lemmymap. Not worth to deploy. I may recreate it from scratch in my free time.

        LOL, at a quick glance one might even be able abuse a scheduled job on free-tier GitHub runner for the data update and host it statically on GitHub pages.

      Someone could of course run it locally and take a screenshot for everyone :)

    I remember that map, it was a great resource. Like you say, visualizing defederations would be especially helpful.
