I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting ... Though I still don't fully get the fediverse).
I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.
On the flip side I've heard a notion that no one single instance should become the "main" instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the "default". But maybe it's different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.
I see things differently. I think there should be a few general use instances. The general use instances I think should be the "main" instances.
Then there should be specialty instances. Like a star trek instance, with several communities, each covering a different topic.
Or a baseball instance, with several instances, one for each team.
Or a H Jon Benjamin instance, with several communities, one for each project he's worked on. Maybe even have some peertube videos on stuff he's done.
Each general use instance, I can't imagine needing more than 10 of those would have a large amount of people.
Each specific subject instance would have lower population. But thats ok, because their main role isn't to host users. It's to host content. Whereas the general instances would mostly hoat content and be a link aggregator.
Of coarse.......none of that is how it's being applied so far. Right now it's an unorganized mess.
Haha hard to take that seriously 🙂 I'm down with that jazz
