Gregory's Server@Gargron The early adopters over the past 5-6 years paved the way for a relatively user friendly transition, so thanks to many of you. There will be a lot of confusion and frustration in the growing population as FOTM instances come and go, but this stress test is a welcome sight for mainstream fediverse!

@Gargron To continue this thought, that's huge! Despite a low number of App Store reviews, which are not even solicited to my knowledge, Mastodon is crushing well-established platforms in a subtle but important scoreboard. Reviews are up to 1.4k this morning and Mastodon is now 4th most popular. |
@Gargron The primary Mastodon iOS app is, as of this toot, 5th most popular for social networking in the US. That puts it above FB Messenger, Telegram, and Discord, and trailing Gas, BeReal, WhatsApp, and FB proper. The only publicly visible metric is the # of ratings (1.2k for Mastodon, 105k-xxM for the rest). A search for Mastodon, of course, brings up a plethora of alternatives clients also ready to go.
