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

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"...
