I've built a thing.
Sometimes my follower count seemingly fluctuates at random. To understand why, I dug into the #MastodonAPI and eventually created "fedi-followers":
A privacy-friendly #fediverse #followers explorer as local-only static web app, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.
