Are there reliable statistics that show this?
I’m trying to get an idea rolling for a mobile app that could handle the most used platforms on the Fediverse.
For example, let’s assume that Mastodon, Lemmy and Peertube turned out to be the most used platforms on the Fediverse. Would people be interested in a mobile app that could properly integrate all of these?
Integration across various platforms is one of those things where I’m not sure even know whether they want it or not. We’re so used to disconnected platforms that it really is new ground for most.
It’s also probably hard and very open ended.
Which is all to say absolutely, there’d be interest, it’s just that it’ll be a bumpy ride but also worth it for showing people what is possible.
Allowing multiple accounts across multiple platforms to be merged into single timelines in customisable ways, alone, would be awesome.
As far as platforms go, I’d prioritise, on the basis of popularity and uniqueness:
Roll those 4 into one (and maybe even just the top 3) and you would have a banger of an app. Even rolling mastodon and Lemmy into a single interface would be quite a demonstration.
im personally fine with using more than one website on the internet.
