I just saw, that fedidb now has data for the biggest fediverse accounts, so I did a little plotting with it. Here is a graphic of the scattering of the 100 biggest accounts by the instance they are on. 38 of them are on mastodon.social https://fedidb.org/popular-fediverse-accounts (the data is in the alt text) #mastodon #chart #fedidb #fediverse

seems very microblog specific. not terribly useful for people who dont give a shit about followers. 'fediverse' not 'tweetoverse'

Well, yes. On Lemmy you cannot follow accounts. However groups (communities, magazines, etc.) do not count as an "account" I think. A chart about the biggest groups would certainly be very interesting as well. And that lemmy does only support a subgroup of the fediverse is imo not a reason to not post this here

right, im using a non lemmy product that can do both.. i would love to see stats on both. the only thing that bugs be here is the lack of taxonomic identification. it implies this is the fediverse, when its only a subset.

if were going to limit a report to a subset of the fediverse, make it apparent. im just lookin for better labels.

I mean "fediverse" is accurate if one does not include groups in "accounts"...

To be fair, their are in the Fediverse.

I always think we should have another community called Threadiverse for Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Lotide and soon Sublinks. Probably too late now as most people would prefer to stay here, but maybe at a later point we could.
