The update for #Mastodon patching the bug in the preview is near, so it's time for a last look at #traffic sources for @heiseonline:
#Twitter keeps decreasing and is already overtaken by Mastodon (thx also to problems with our bot for #X, when it works, X brings more people).
#Flipboard and #Facebook are growing again, #Bluesky and #Threads are far behind. But Threads brings already more traffic than Bluesky, although we can't autopost (every link) there.

Share on Mastodon
It's remarkable how stable Mastodon is over time - only matched by Bluesky and Threads, which are stable for a completely different reason.
One thing I have wondered about is whether, when sharing a link on Mastodon, all the traffic generated by different instances crawling metadata from the source inflates traffic artificially. That's something I was considering looking at my own data in cpanel, as I received more traffic to my website than I expected, but I'm not sure if it's a potential explanation?
