this is pretty cool! I've been working on some territories data myself and this could be really helpful!
The size of the circles seems to be based on number of posts. And I like how you grouped them by larger topic or field. A couple questions:
- How did you derive the active users number?
- Is the connection between two circles determined by number of users who post in both?
Seems like it could be a really fun way to explore what users are doing on SN.
Seems like it could be a really fun way to explore what users are doing on SN. indeed! more filters could be applied too, like data range and deeper analysis on territory specific data... with the API i guess it will be possible to derive the most use words on each and start categorizing posts accordingly. it will also give a good guesstimate for possible subterritories.
How did you derive the active users number?
Oh that's random!
Is the connection between two circles determined by number of users who post in both?
No is by adjacent topic, you can see how the territories are related to eachother in the js file, just after the territories list. For example ~lightning
// Lightning network connections
{ source: "lightning", target: "nostr", strength: 7 },
{ source: "lightning", target: "builders", strength: 6 },
{ source: "lightning", target: "litdevs", strength: 8 },
{ source: "lightning", target: "bitdevs", strength: 6 },
the strength is kinda of a subjective value... but it could be derived with the APIs too. I can make it more accurate with real data, not sure how to get API access though
