What would happen to your timeline if mastodon.social went away?

@ricci Interesting. My main account mostly follows people in the Korean Fediverse, and quite a few of the instances they use aren't Mastodon instances at all. That's probably why the tool doesn't show population data for some of them — many of them run Misskey or Misskey-derived software. (Misskey is Fediverse software from Japan, and it's particularly popular in Japan and South Korea.)
I'm also fascinated by how many people seem to join mastodon.social simply because it has "Mastodon" in the name, even though the Fediverse is much bigger than mastodon.social — or even Mastodon as a piece of software.
So I guess mastodon.social can be very important to some people while barely mattering to others.
I used to wonder, "What's the point of having separate servers if you're not really allowed to change much visually?" But I suppose the differences are more about rules, community focus, and moderation policies. In my own experience, though, I don't come across that many servers built around a very specific theme or subject.
@thanksstevenkim sharlayan spotted! 👀
But yeah, these are all good discussion points and questions - I want to give people the tools to add some data to the other perspectives on them

@ricci I genuinely appreciate all the work you’ve put into this. It gave me a new perspective on the Fediverse, and I think it’ll help other people see it differently too.☺️

@thanksstevenkim You might like some of my other tools too, then like https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ , https://tag-federation.online/, https://mastodon.academy/
hmm I should probably make a site with all of these instead of just buying more and more domain names.

@ricci Maybe a portal site for all of these would be a good idea. Or maybe you could turn them into widgets instead of collecting more domain names. 😂

@thanksstevenkim but I like collecting domain names :(
(but yes you are right :) )
