For better or worse, many servers are targeting Mastodon API compatibility to be able to leverage the existing clients. Adding GraphQL increases surface area without solving the bigger issue of creating the clients.

I didn’t get as far as looking into the mastodon API for clients but that makes perfect sense, I just assumed it was an overlay on the more general API.

Mostly I was thinking how one could implement something in the most efficient way and graph databases/graphQL were literally designed for this stuff.
