There was a nice spike in Mastodon users today.

Some people believe it was because Nick Fuentes returned to Twitter.

Others believe it was because of @ivory and @[email protected] being released.

Either way, hello to new folks!

@APeahen Both @ivory and @[email protected] are third party apps you can use with Mastodon.

Kind of like how you once could use Tweetbots and Twitterific with Twitter.

@atomicpoet @ivory @icecubesapp never used any of those! But what do the apps do?

@APeahen They used to be able to let you use Twitter through an alternative client.

Just like @ivory and @[email protected] let you use Mastodon through an alternative client.
