Instead of algorithms why don't we create a map of Lemmy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

How would this help? What is the problem this addresses?

People say they have problems with discoverability. A map will help people find the content they want faster.

You just search what you like. I'm not following how you need to discover?

For that you first have to know everything that you might like by name
