It's always fun to see where my connections are coming from. I keep all of my contacts in collections based on what federated networks they use, which makes for tidy accounting. Also, I'd like to think that it adds a little bit of extra variety to my stream - people from GNU Social instances, for example, may act quite differently than people on Mastodon ones.

I connect to over 7 platforms now, through the Diaspora protocol or through OStatus. Everything else gets cross-posted to either Twitter, Pump.io, or Libertree.

• Diaspora - 91
• Friendica - 9
• Hubzilla - 42
• GNU Social - 47
• Mastodon - 52
• SocialHome - 2
• postActiv - 9

Keep in mind, this number is constantly growing! I actively add people from platforms I had previously been active on, and occasionally will add random contacts from various different networks who appear to be active. This allows me to discover new nodes in the network organically over time.
