@atomicpoet @pixelfed I don’t know if it’s about willingness….it’s partially about discovery.

I’m on an iPhone, put Pixelfed in the Apple Store search and get….50 Mastodon apps.

You have to scroll down a bunch of times before you see a Pleroma, Misskey, or other app.

So, for the casual user, they’re never going to see another Fediverse app.

They’re going to assume Pixelfed is Mastodon on some level because that’s what search told them.
