After the Apicalipse there was a website where you could see which instance de/federates with others, as a map. It’s url was lemmymap.feddit.de but I guess it went down with feddit.de I found even a screenshot in a thread:

Currently with the instances button you can see defederation from one direction, but not from the other, e.g. if an instance is defederated by a lot others you can’t see that easily.

Does something like this exist?

I remember that map, it was a great resource. Like you say, visualizing defederations would be especially helpful.

The source code for it can be found on codeberg.org/wintermute/lemmymap/…/development

But with Wintermute going missing and feddit.de shutting down is has been shut down as well.

Someone could of course run it locally and take a screenshot for everyone :)

It was a nice map. If it still works I will try to redeploy it.

Edit: This is an early prototype of the lemmymap, not the latest version of it. I don’t think it’s worth to deploy. I may recreate it from scratch in my free time.

LOL, at a quick glance one might even be able abuse a scheduled job on free-tier GitHub runner for the data update and host it statically on GitHub pages.

Would be a great service for the community to have it up and running again.
