@utzer @alfred ok Mastadon is the Bread aisle in the market, and most people writing about the fediverse write about mastadon, they only see the bread aisle, friendica sees the entire market, all of the activitypub and yes some numbers can be skewed depending on time of day stats are collected and depending on if reporting instances are sending out false info, but overall the difference in the numbers you see verse the numbers reported again is because the ones being reported are only reporting the bread aisle they can see, where you get to see the whole market activtiypubs numbers, the sad thing is if they step off the bread aisle they would realize they are in a huge market with far more aisles then they have been staring at and reporting on;
