fedi‑map

An interactive picture of the living fediverse.

Explore how servers connect through mentions and boosts, find your own corner, and watch the map change over time. Single-user homes and busy public servers all help shape it.

← the map

No posts, media, or account names are stored. fedi-map uses public instance metadata and daily aggregate counts.

If you found this crawler in your logs, it identifies itself as:

fedi-map/0.1 (+https://map.wizard.casa/about)

For instance admins

Opt-in and opt-out requests must come from a staff account published by the instance.

Remove your instance and its data

Send a direct message saying “opt out” to @fedi-map@wizard.casa.

You can also contact @nimda@wizard.casa and name the domain you want removed.

Opting out stops crawling and deletes the data collected about your instance. Only the domain and an opt-out flag are kept to prevent another crawl.

Stop crawler requests with robots.txt

Add this to https://your.instance/robots.txt:

User-agent: fedi-map
Disallow: /

This blocks crawler requests. It does not delete data already collected; use the opt-out above for that.

Rejoin or add your instance

No opt-in is needed to include a small server. If your instance was opted out, or discovery has not found it yet, its admin can ask to include it.

As an instance admin, send a direct message saying “opt in” to @fedi-map@wizard.casa. This reverses an earlier opt-out or adds your instance to the crawl queue.

What is collected

• Public instance metadata, including software, user count, and peers.
• Daily post, mention, and boost counts from public timelines.
• Origin domains and timestamps from public live activity.

Public timelines can contribute at any server size, including single-user instances. A server's connections are weighted by the share of its outward mentions and boosts going to each peer, so a small server's relationships can be as visible as a large one's.

Crawl load

At most one request per host runs at a time. fedi-map respects robots.txt, rate limits, and Crawl-delay. Quiet servers are revisited less often, and timelines that require authentication or are disabled are left alone.
