Exactly two years ago, we started to post links on #Mastodon via our account @heiseonline 👇
mastodon.social/@heiseonline/1…
It took longer, than I expected, but here we are: it seems like this account now brings continuously more #traffic to heise.de than #X (#Twitter) in its entirety, although it only has ¼ of the follower number (and many of them don't seem to be active anymore).
I'll prepare some graphs after the weekend.

Vorerst ist das hier der offizielle Mastodon-Account von heise online. Wird jetzt erst einmal händisch befüllt, aber wir haben schon weitergehende Pläne und wollen hier mehr machen.Mastodon
Hypolite Petovan mag das.

Unbekannter Ursprungsbeitrag • • •Where does this thought come from? In my experience, the number of followers is even more important here, because of the lack of an algorithmic feed, that pushes posts with less engagment in other feeds.
And I can back it up: We have multiple accounts here (look at social.heise.de) and all the others bring way less traffic than the only real big one.

so that means that on Twitter/X 3/4 of the followers are bots

Wann wird ActivityPub euer Forum erweitern? ;)

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •The week is over, here are some charts:
For two weeks in a row, #Mastodon brought more #traffic than #X / #Twitter to heise.de.
But I forgot, that's not just via @heiseonline, but also @heisec, @ct_Magazin, @heiseautos, @iX_Magazin etc. (but for Twitter its the same).
#Bluesky is way behind, #Threads even more. Only Twitter is clearly falling.

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •If you add all the #TwitterAlternative s, they have been in the lead for a while now.
If you add @Flipboard and sum it up wit #Mastodon (because #Fediverse 😉), then #Facebook ist not far.
But, if you have a look on the numbers since the beginning of 2022, then it's clear, that this is mainly a story about the decline of #Twitter.

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •The chart showing the #engagement with @heiseonline shows a slow decline in Boosts, Favs and Replies. Thanks @analytodon for the data!
Any idea, what I should look out for in the data we have?

Is there also any english-exclusive content?

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •X limits the reach of posts with links pretty severely on the 'for you' timeline, which is what most people scroll on. The code is open source and you can see the demotion values for posts with urls. They want you to pay to show links.

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •Here's a good question and I have the answer: #Traffic per Follower for different social networks (here for the last 4 weeks).
#Mastodon is now behind #Bluesky, #Flipboard still far ahead. #X and #Threads are really far behind.

Are there any kind of groups using it or is it more common?

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •Not you perhaps but I see one comment... judging the fedi by traffic and other capitalist mindset nonsense is a mistake.
I see it everywhere, not just related to SM but in projects that aim to improve life.
We are so surrounded by a self-destructive culture we have to work very hard to see what is good and what is not for ourselves, and to avoid seeing things through a lens that distorts our understanding to the point we choose badly, choosing things that were never in our own interests.

Als Antwort auf Martin Holland • • •@heisec @ct_Magazin @heiseautos @iX_Magazin I had a very similar experience with Threads (26K followers) v. Mastodon (1K followers).
Mastodon blew Threads out of the water. Can you share your follower count on each? Especially Twitter v. Mastodon?

No, I totally attribute that to the fix for a bug, that cut our URL-parameter from the preview card. Now with #Mastodon V4.3.0 we can simply see more of our #Mastodon-traffic again.

Yes, exactly. For the whole two years. But there was a bug, cutting them from the preview cards. So we missed many visits for a whole years.
This was only fixed with Version 4.3.0
