It's still very much a #German thing, this #ActivityPub stuff 😏

This is a really nice thread (but you'll have to open the original post for that) about where ActivityPub followers of @heise online come from. Good to see that a serious organisation like Heise takes it seriously.

Nice to see these stats, I could even download the data and verify that my server is among those 1200 who only have one user following them.

Number of accounts following @heiseonline from each instance

I'll do it again in #english, maybe it is of interest for others too:

@heiseonline is on of the biggest official accounts on #Mastodon by a german media organization. It's now a year old and I had a look into the ~62k followers. Turns out, that federation in the #fediverse seems to work: Less than a fourth are from mastodon.social, the rest are on more than 1900 different instances.

heise is a german news outlet. so it would be very astonishing, to find a mentionable amount of non-german connections ... this is not a feature of activity pub, i think ...
