@alextecplayz yeah i agree and it's true but when I clicked this link pixelfed is at 10th position and it's below the facebook I will share the screenshot.
But thanks for this helpful information.

@echo_xc @alextecplayz Checked in the Spanish App Store, not even in the 100th position. But the 26th on Social Networking apps.

@echo_xc

The real question could be which apps are Clipper and Flip?

Show threadOpenTechJan 17, 2025

@jens I'm so happy to clarify:
1.Clapper is a social media app for short videos, live streams, and community engagement, with monetization options for creators. It's known as a TikTok alternative with minimal ads and local content focus.
Links:
https://blog.clapperapp.com https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clapper-video-live-chat/id1522122685

2.Flip by Humans Inc. is a social shopping app blending video reviews with a marketplace, letting users discover, review, and buy products while earning rewards.
Apple store link:

@echo_xc @pixelfed Great news! Suffering a little from success maybe though, I kept getting cloudflare errors on pixelfed.social yesterday! Looking at the screenshot, pix really should revert to the previous logo, it stands out more. And it's still in use on pixelfed.org, etc...
Show threadOpenTechJan 17, 2025
@pa27 @pixelfed I guess it's some kind of maintenance break or something. Lets give some patience to the developers to fix the bugs.
Show threadGraeme 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Jan 17, 2025
@echo_xc @pixelfed I assumed it was just server load! Kind of a good problem to have - lots of hits! - and fixable...

@echo_xc @pixelfed that Chinese app logotype seems like the "virus" word but pixelated 🤭
Show threadOpenTechJan 17, 2025
@gabeweb yeah lol. I don't how it took the first position for a small period of time.

@echo_xc in Venezuela it appears in the number two 🫣 and I think this app isn't ever translated yet.
Show threadJennifer Moore 😷Jan 17, 2025

@echo_xc

Does this represent total installs, or recent downloads within a certain timespan, or something else?

Show threadOpenTechJan 17, 2025

@unchartedworlds

These rankings are influenced by factors like:

1. Download Velocity: The number of downloads within the last 24-48 hours or over a recent period.

2. User Engagement: Active usage and positive interactions (like reviews and ratings).

3. Regional Popularity: Performance in specific countries or regions.

4. Algorithm Adjustments: Apple's proprietary ranking algorithm, which weighs multiple factors, not just raw download numbers.
