The competition doesn’t remain idle either. Bluesky recently surpassed 19 million users and reported more than a million new registrations in a single day. Our article about Bluesky’s current development highlights the rapid growth of the platform, which scores with classic financing models and strong scaling. Threads, in turn, is testing new functions such as custom feeds and a profile sharing card to enable users to use it even more personally and is expected to soon exceed the 300 million monthly active user mark.
Croissant App helps with cross-posting on Mastodon and Co.
For users who don’t want to limit themselves to one platform or network, the paid Croissant app offers a practical solution. With this tool it is possible to Post content to Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads simultaneouslyincluding the integration of images, hashtags and correct mentions. The app is currently available for iPhones, and a version for Mac and iPad is also being developed.
Long term perspective for Mastodon
Although Mastodon currently lags behind the user numbers of Threads and Bluesky, the network remains an important alternative in the microblogging context due to its decentralized structure and community-oriented values. Rochko sees Mastodon as an important pillar of the long-term development of the networked digital space, which should also enable posting between services that are considered an X alternative. It remains exciting to see how the networks will position themselves in the growing social network market in the long term and what role Fediverse will play in this.
We may see more threads posts, Bluesky content and toots in the future, since tweets are no longer there and X is already losing out on some points in the competition. There are currently some well-known accounts on Mastodon, for example the Tagesschau is also represented there.
