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

While this chart certainly shows how dominant mastodon.social in the Fediverse is, I like this chart. It also shows how diverse the Fediverse is. For any other social network this graph would be a simple circle. For the Fediverse it shows 38 different servers, and apart from mastodon.social, the distribution seems quite fair.
Absolutely. I mean yeah 30-45% of the biggest accounts are on mastodon.social but it is the only one with a huge share. The rest is pretty diversely scattered among instances
Made a little script and raked almost 1800 servers and over 40.000 communities.
If someone has the http api call for messages and posts I'd love continuing and maybe set up some sort of search engine... Or maybe I should go with the soap(?) one but I don't know how to do it in python, any information greatly appreciated!
oh, Good luck with that. Make sure however to respect the users privacy and indexing preferences. People in the Fediverse are very privacy consious and not everyone likes their post scraped and indexed.
I'd start with the Mastodon docs, it's a solid resource to get started.
Perfection is the enemy of good, I guess. The point is that you can federate, even though most will not know or care. mastodon.social could lock itself down for new users harder, but that would most likely just stop people from signing up to Mastodon at all.
It's like people who complain about energy efficient lighting because now they have to go knock the snow off the light instead of letting excess heat melt it.
This happened with lemmy.world and it’s not even official. Most people, including myself, will gravitate towards the most popular instance: like it or not, popularity and reputability are correlated. I joined Lemmy because it gives me the option to jump ship if necessary, not to join a random instance from the get-go based on a dice roll.
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 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.
