One of the strengths of Mastodon is our API that allows 3rd party developers to create powerful integrations and full-featured apps on entirely equal footing with our own, with absolute confidence that there will never be a rug-pull. I've decided to check how the diversity of tools looked like in practice.

Here's a glimpse of this month's most popular publishing tools. It's just the data for posts made in June on mastodon.social:

- Web 23.9%
- Jetpack 6.5%
- Mastodon for Android 6.3%
- Mastodon for iOS 4%
- Tusky 3.3%
- IFTTT 3.2%
- Ivory for iOS 2.5%
- IceCubes 1.1%
- Mona for iPhone 0.7%
- Elk 0.4%
- Phanpy 0.3%

The rest is divided up between literally a thousand other sources. It means around 66% of users are posting from 3rd party apps and integrations!

@Gargron Can you tell, among the web users, which ones use the standard interface? For example, on web I use Statuzer.
@carturo222 Web is the official web interface. Elk and Phanpy are the other web clients that are on the list.
