Mastodon being 65% was a surprise to me for sure. What's the best mastodon app?

Also how do I use it efficiently for tech related news and info? I never got into twitter.

Edit: I should probably specify for Android

Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything

Ooh, that sounds like a great feature.

Mammoth, Ice Cubes, Ivory all good on iOS

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

My vote is ice cubes for ios. Ivory was severely lacking in features despite it being paid.

I like Tusky on Android.

On Mac/iOS, Ivory is pretty dope: https://tapbots.com/ivory/

Does it include users from Threads?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still, monthly active users are goin down.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Actually, users & active users went up last month.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You are right. In the graph there is a rise, but inside "Total MAU" pill it says "-47,901 since last month".

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, the other numbers all match the graphs, but that one is wrong.

I would report it to them but it seems like you need a github account to do that.

Oh thank the bunnies!

I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:

-when there are more third party apps than ever before and they are excellent and feature packed

-the servers have become more stable

-Lemmy is more well known

-there are many more communities now.

Maybe they were weeding out bots?

fediverse observer shows no growth (actually it shows a continual decline), could it be threads?
