I'm looking at the Fediverse explorer and I'm curious how to interpret the embeddings (or the distances between points). What does it mean when two instances are near each other (e.g., sigmoid.social and mastodon-belgium.be)? Is it related to the number of follows?

Currently I only use the peering information of instances. Instances are places close to each other when they are peering.

As a next step I want to refine this as peering itself does not say anything about how much users of these instances interact. For this I will have to sample the users of instances and who they follow.
