This is just 10 apps listed on the front page of Fediverse.party btw.
They do seem to have the largest communities judging by quickly scanning the other apps out there not on the list.
#Bookwyrm is on https://fediverse.party just not on the front page. See: https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/
Note that as input to fediverse party we have 3 #delightful lists:
https://delightful.club/delightful-fediverse-apps/
@humanetech sorry that’s what I meant, not on the front page.
@Ombra misskey stats on fediverse.party: https://fediverse.party/en/misskey/
@deightonrobbie thanks, but this is where I sourced the data and they don’t have active users, like the other 9 apps on the homepage.
@liwott it’s just the 10 apps from Fediverse.party
MissKey is higher in terms of population however. It’s just missing the active users data.
@liwott correct.
Sorry for the confusion, I thought Fediverse.party home page had the top 10 listed.
MissKey is not number 10 I mean, I would imagine it’s active users would push it higher since it ranks higher on the population list for the 10 Fediverse.party homepage apps.
@liwott thanks for the link, great bot to follow!
@Hiker I didn't mean it to seem like a challenge, sorry if it was taken that way.
I was using it more of a way to figure out what other Fediverse apps would be good to look into next.
As there are a bunch that seem like they are being maintained or used much at all.
I would love to try all these top 10 out some day!
@Hiker fediverse.party has these spread on a map, if you click into each you see the user numbers.
I translated it into an easy to consume list.
It shows off how many other apps there are outside of Mastodon in the Fediverse.
I found it insightful, and it excited me to set up accounts elsewhere, I hope it does the same for others.
Fair enough if you don't think it makes sense but I do. Each to their own.
@Ombra mmhh. Mastadon gibt's wohl nicht bei @fdroidorg ? Nutze #Tusky.
@thomaskujawa Tusky for Mastodon on Android yea.
I use #MetaText on iOS, it's amazing.
@thomaskujawa
Ist in meinem Repo. Bei F-Droid gibt es damit noch Build-Probleme, wird aber dran gearbeitet. Tusky ist aber eine gute Wahl 😋
@Ombra
#BookWyrm is not on the Fediverse.party website which is why it's not listed in my top 10.
But the main bookwyrm.social site currently has 1,675 active users.
I summed up all the active users across just the 9 instances listed joinbookwrym.com, result: 1,822 active users.
