Isn't it a bit misleading to imply that more than 12 people in the world are using third party clients?
Discussion
Are you serious? One of them was briefly higher than the official app in the App Store. Third party PDSs are still a small percentage, but even that is growing.
Look, Bluesky has no shortage of faults, decentralization being one of them, but all of the attacks I see here seem to come from pure ignorance.
Which one?
Flashes, I think? I’m just recalling screen shots from a few weeks ago, could definitely be wrong, but there are a few popular alternate clients now.
That seems to be the most popular indeed, but it's not a normal client, it's a niche client that only displays photos and videos apparently (?) by filtering them from the official Bluesky thing, and it has 263 ratings on the App Store.
The other one I saw mentioned in multiple places is GraySky, which seems to be a fork of the official client with some modifications, it has 63 ratings.
Also Skeets, OpenVibe, Bluescreen, and a few others…
