This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go?

I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this.

#Bluesky with a solid head start.

Now mastodon.social in front, #Bluesky in second. I do not yet see my boost from #Bookwyrm, but #Pixelfed is now there too (even without a picture) 😉

#Mastodon as a whole clearly dominating again.

Also #Akkoma #Misskey #Sharkey and #Firefish

#Fediverse

With now more than 160 boosts, there is even more software visible.

From now 243 boosts I see 238 via the API and that's their composition. Now there are two #Mastodon instances in front, next is #Bluesky thanks to the bridge.

The post was shared via at least eleven different softwares, but there are some, I don't see – like #Bookwyrm for example. The second graph shows also how Mastodon dominates and functions as legend for the colors.

Curiosly, what's missing in comparison to my poll (https://social.heise.de/@mho/112806778323970989) is #GoToSocial #Pleroma #Mitra #IceShrimp & #Momostr

Where are you seeing this? Let's see, how far this post can go already: Please share widely. And write a comment, when you're not on #Mastodon. #SocialMedia #Fediverse #Nostr [ ] Mastodon [ ] Other place in the Fediverse [ ] Bluesky [ ] Somewhere else

If this post is boosted by an account on #Bluesky, who is not bridged via #BridgyFed, the API of #Mastodon can't see it. So I counted them manually and the number of shares on #Bluesky grew by about half. In the process I found one share on #GoToSocial that I didn't see and I added my share from #Bookwyrm 😉

Together NotMastodon reaches almost 20 % of the shares, but mastodon.social stays the biggest single instance.

I also now know, why the post can't be shared on #Lemmy. Should I try again?

@mho why didn't it work for Lemmy?

@mho would be good if all those bluesky users that boosted but hadn't even enabled the bridge got to know that they can do so.

@mho makes sense Bookwyrm isn't visible because it basically tries to limit things so that you don't really subscribe to a full timeline from anyone who is not using Bookwyrm so most people would not see any top level posts from Mastodon there.

This limitation isn't really airtight though, if you know the correct url you can subscribe to a mastodon account and see everything from it on that platform.

a sort of instantaneous patriotism makes me feel a bit ashamed that my home instance is not among the named.

@mho All Bluesky users are only one server. Mastodon/Fediserve users are distributed across many servers. So, does it make sense to compare servers?

@isAutonomous @mho Bridgy is a single PDS (not run by Bluesky) which in turn feeds it to all the other ATProtocol PDS instances, either directly or through the relay firehose.

Here’s the list of self-hosted PDS instances https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses

(technically Bluesky runs 20 PDS instances with ~300K users each, but that’s mostly not directly visible)

Bluesky handle directory – PDSes

(Non-EU-)Users on #Threads can make their posts visible on #Mastodon etc., but they can't view or interact with it from here (yet).

I reshared this on Friendica. No idea if that makes this available on Diaspora or whether you would be able to see that if it did.
