@Loukas You are welcome :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
I hope you can to translate what I wrote.

@vsv yes, I recently started using an app with translation and I've enjoyed reading Russian Mastodon a lot. That is the green clump to one side?

Stas

@Loukas Green clump (I prefer the term cluster) - yes, it's a Russian-speaking community. You can see how closely it is connected with other users. This is primarily due to the language barrier, because of which users prefer to communicate among themselves.

@vsv you get similar things happening in guilds in online combat games as well, people stick together because no one else wants to chat in your language:) thank you for replying even though I speak in a different tongue!

Stas replied to Loukas

@Loukas Yes, it's a good comparison.
This is the second time I've done a study like this (the first time was a few years ago on Twitter). But unfortunately I have seen few similar studies in all this time, so I decided to repeat it again for Mastodon.

Loukas Christodoulou replied to Stas

@vsv what are the two streams upwards of the main yellow cluster? Are those also language groups?

Stas replied to Loukas

@Loukas I don't know exactly. But at first view they seem to be thematic groups, not language groups.
You can explore it yourself, I've posted all the data I've dig.
