I made an atlas of the Minecraft Multiplayer (SMP) Community - Full zoom in replies
This is my own repost. Original, full thread can be found on the bird app
view FULL SVG (you should pick this)
view 8K PNG (does not have unlimited zoom and is blurry as well so you can't find yourself)
TIP: While viewing the .svg, do CTRL+F in your browser to open the "Search Page" feature. Then type your name to find yourself. You might not be there at all lol, but if you are, good job. you made it
I'll explain the atlas a bit: The colors are assigned by a Community Detection algorithm (an algorithm that automatically forms communities, duh) The sizes represent the size of the SMP, in member counts. I ultimately went against assigning the sizes based on followership because i feel like it would be unfair, since some SMPs on this list are just so colossal, and twitter followers don't really paint the whole picture. So i want with this.
The placement of the community depends on how the specific community interacts with other communities. If a community is pretty close to some other community, they will appear closer to each other. Makes sense, right?
Here's the dataset i used (made by me): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18hsr-aZ-OeKcIP1iBxq2rbyiQrBdcnlPx0Hjf9rLVNg/edit#gid=0
Here's the link to the edgelist i made for this visualization: https://candycupgallery.github.io/minecraft_server_edgelist.csv
