Does anyone know what software runs FediDB and if it's open source? This is the most beautifully functional web interface I've ever seen.

Mastodon being 65% was a surprise to me for sure. What's the best mastodon app?

Also how do I use it efficiently for tech related news and info? I never got into twitter.

Edit: I should probably specify for Android
- Mammoth, Ice Cubes, Ivory all good on iOS
  
  My vote is ice cubes for ios. Ivory was severely lacking in features despite it being paid.
- Moshidon is really good for android. I especially like that you can have custom timelines for basically anything
  
  Ooh, that sounds like a great feature.
- I like Tusky on Android.
- Permanently Deleted
- On Mac/iOS, Ivory is pretty dope: https://tapbots.com/ivory/
- If you like PWA phanpy is nice on mobile or destktop
- I use FediLab from FDroid
Does it include users from Threads?
Still, monthly active users are goin down.
- Actually, users & active users went up last month.
  
  You are right. In the graph there is a rise, but inside "Total MAU" pill it says "-47,901 since last month".
  
  Oh thank the bunnies!
  
  I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:
  
  -when there are more third party apps than ever before and they are excellent and feature packed
  
  -the servers have become more stable
  
  -Lemmy is more well known
  
  -there are many more communities now.
- What do you think are the reasons why
  
  Takes a bit to get set up with something passable. The default Lemmy UI is kinda shit and you have to figure out which apps to use to make it work for you. It can feel a little unpolished initially.
  
  Niche communities just aren’t there yet. There is a lot of effort in creating them, but low engagement. It also doesn’t help that federation can mean communities on one topic are divided.
  
  Content can get a bit stale. I feel I see fresh content for about an hour a day and then have to wait another day before the next batch. When I browse throughout the day I start to notice the same stories popping in my feed over and over. Sometimes this happens for days on ended with one story just kinda coming back.
  
  I think people don't like having to figure out what federation means and run away without realizing that they didn't need to know what it means to participate.
fediverse observer shows no growth (actually it shows a continual decline), could it be threads?
