We're seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there's no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don't get any headlines.

I'm using both platforms through Openvibe when I'm on my phone.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Just installed it. Now if they supported multiple mastodon accounts, I'd really be cooking.

Thanks for reminding me of this app. Really wish 'open'vibe would be on Foss stores like fdroid though.

Has 3 trackers too. Google Analytics, firebase, and sentry.

Edit: Downloaded it and it is pretty cool but I wish it had more support for bluesky feeds. It supports the ones I already have but I can't search for more.

Seems like there should be. I bet people would donate to a marketing fund

You have now taken your first steps to the dark side and becoming a corpo overlord. It is a subtle but slippery slope.
