I don't trust any Fediverse "popularity contest" numbers, but this is still interesting. We're still in a situation where any Fediverse server software could suddenly take off just like Mastodon did. And we might not even notice, because of language barriers.
People need to consider this from an Asian perspective.
Traditionally, one of the most popular countries in terms of Mastodon usage has been Japan. But this is changing fast.
Between January to now, Misskey alone jumped from 75,000 to 325,000 accounts.
In terms of accounts, misskey.io has now overtaken mastodon.online, one of Mastodon's flagship servers run by Mastodon gGmbh itself.
In terms of posts sent per month, not only has misskey.io overtaken mastodon.social, it's got double the volume. Which means that despite mastodon.social having 6x more accounts, misskey.io sends 2x more posts that mastodon.social.
We can clearly see that much of #ActivityPub has moved to *key apps.
