I'm looking for a scalability analysis of the Mastodon architecture (on a network level, not so much the individual instance). Any pointers? #noxp

Unfortunately I don't have the stats skills to fully appreciate this research

Understanding the growth of the Fediverse through the lens of Mastodon

A network model over Mastodon instances is defined and exploited to investigate three major aspects: the structural features of the Mastodon network of instances from a macroscopic as well as a mesoscopic perspective, and the backbone of the network,…
