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.

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

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 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.
