I had no prior knowledge of what these #mastodon app numbers were but found myself pretty surprised at

* Mastodon's dominance (~34% counting web and apps) ... compared with
* How little market share "celebrated" iOS (ivory & icecubes) and web apps (elk, phanpy) have (4.3% total, 0.7% for elk+phanpy)
* But all that (and the other listed items) are only ~50% with the rest consisting of "thousands" more!

Genuinely sad to see elk and phanpy not get more love.

Never heard of either of elk of phanpy until now. Phanpy looks cool so I'm giving it a drive.

@db0

Be sure to check out the "catch up" feature. Best thing I've seen in any social media client I think.

Ye I used it just today. Really nice! Thanks for bringing this client to my attention!

@maegul @mastodon it is a shame more instances don't default to using elk or #phanpy as standard

@maegul @mastodon don’t forget that most people are used to 1 platform = 1 app
So having the choice between so many options might be overwhelming or not even on everyone’s radar because it might simply not be that important to them.
