However, existing datasets focus mainly on mainstream social media platforms whose structures are shaped notably by algorithmic recommendations. This raises an important question: would alternative, decentralized social networks exhibit different properties? We address this by studying the Fediverse; a collection of decentralized social networks (such as Mastodon and Lemmy). These platforms differ fundamentally from for-profit social media, notably in decentralization and absence of recommendation algorithms, which may yield distinct graph structures. We introduce Fedivertex, a dataset of over 400 graphs from seven decentralized networks, collected weekly over six months. The dataset, released with a companion Python package to facilitate its use, supports research on temporal and structural aspects of decentralized social networks. In particular, we benchmark applications to decentralized machine learning and community detection.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2026-05-24T22:01:32Z","year":"2026","title":"Fedivertex: A graph dataset based on decentralized Social Media","type":"conference","citation":{"mla":"Damie, Marc, and Edwige Audrey Lucienne Cyffers. “Fedivertex: A Graph Dataset Based on Decentralized Social Media.” 2026 Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference 2026, ACM, pp. 8393–96, doi:10.1145/3774904.3792868.","ieee":"M.
