Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

@Gargron I just joined what's app man!

Tim Chambers

@Gargron That is AMAZING... huge congrats to you - and to everyone who built out this #Fediverse. And 1,124 new servers is an incredible number all on its own. :fediverse: โœŠ

@Gargron I'm excited to be here. Thank you for creating this. So far the community seems amazing! Hopefully we can get more here.

Anthony Foster

@Gargron Congratulations! Grateful to be here and for all your efforts.

Pavel Ra

@Gargron congrats!

Do you have a plan to switch from favorites to likes?

Zombie Pirate Gator ๐ŸŠ

@ratushny @Gargron No, because Favourites are personal to you and are not aggregated. Likes are a birdsite thang.

Pavel Ra

@WendyMsGator @Gargron Likes could be not aggregated too. Right now we have Favourites and Bookmarks and I still don't understand why somebody "favourite" my message here. It feels like this person would need my message to use it later.

niedzmeski

@ratushny @Gargron Good point. The Favoriting is more like a book mark. Not the right thing when you just want to applaud or agree.

niedzmeski

@ratushny @Gargron Maybe the Like could be improved on in the process. Like, love, bored, hate, applaud, WTH, OFF, boo, racist, conspiracy, suspected bot, misinformation..

Jeena

@Gargron I wonder who is "we"?

- Fediverse
- All public Mastodon Servers combined
- mastadon.social

Doะผฮนnฮนc OE7DRT

@jeena @Gargron one to exclude is mastodon.social, because we're talking about servers. That could now mean all servers of the #fediverse or just all #mastodon servers. Either one it is, it's quite impressive I think.

James Wanless

@Gargron
Amazing growth. Please make it easier to connect with people across disparate servers. Trying to reconnect with followers from Twitter is pretty challenging right now.

EyeSeeHW

@wanless @Gargron agree!
Your server should be pretty seamless to you as far as I can see...

davidak

@wanless there are tools to automate that like fedifinder.glitch.me/. the twitter account only have to have the mastodon account in the bio, name or pinned tweet.

@Gargron you can make onboarding easier by suggesting these tools, or better, implement it directly into the software

Jocelynephiliac :reclaimer:

@Gargron @dotmatrix Iโ€™m not asking how to do it myself, Iโ€™m asking what mechanic is being used. Seems like it would rely on who is federating with your own server

Jocelynephiliac :reclaimer:

@dotmatrix @Gargron aha, thank you. So its only hitting those activitypub peers which implement those endpoints.

So the real number is likely larger

Enzo

@Gargron that is awesome. Thank you for all your work.

Tomas Jansma

@Gargron I'm just in and try figuring out how it all works with servers etc.

@Gargron That is pretty bad ass on a bad assery scale its a 10.

@Gargron how many fedi instances in total i wonder?
Fat Man :verified: ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿœ๐Ÿœ

@Gargron Congratulations, but this application needs a serious update because it lacks many things

Enrique Barcelli

@Gargron
Congrats and many thanks for all the great work done!
From one of those new comers who is running a new server too!

CodeAsm

@Gargron pretty cool indeed. Have a wonderul day ๐Ÿ˜„

Zombie Pirate Gator ๐ŸŠ

@Gargron Absolutely loving this place. It's a clean pond in the cesspool that is social media. I haven't been angry at a toot since I got here. It does wonders for my mental health and wellbeing.

Sam :verified:

@WendyMsGator @Gargron Exactly this, this is suchhh a good description. I feel better when I leave the app than when I came in :)

ใ‚ทใƒฅใ‚ฌไบบ

@WendyMsGator @Gargron Most mainstream instances defederate the ugly hateful ones, which is a breath of fresh air imo

Prickle (II)

@Gargron Right now 75,000 of us can't see anything, we've not been able to see Local or Federated feeds for a day on your 2nd instance.

I and others have been posting about it all day from our #MastodonOnline accounts.

Any word on when that instance will work again?

@Gargron Thank U! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜€

@Gargron Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration and leadership!

@Gargron Double new users in 7 days! Let's gooo

Bas โค๏ธ Will ๐Ÿš

@Gargron Understatement in effect ๐Ÿ˜‚ Awesome numbers! Still a few nags along the way, but so far it's going much better with every hour of getting to know things. Keep it up! โœŒ๏ธ

Ellyay

@Gargron I just followed folks over from the Twitter. Everyone is so nice here. It's strange. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sooraj Sathyanarayanan

@Gargron Let the network effect begin! @Mastodon to the moon ๐Ÿš€

A. ๐ŸŒž SEL ๐Ÿ˜

@Gargron with some math how many days left to have the same twitter accounts numbers on Mastodon ? Without counting the poor Musk for sure.

Jase

@Gargron This is some amazing work you've been doing on this place. My congrats to all the folks working to make Mastodon an amazing place.

Caleb McKean

@Gargron I was also going to say congratulations.

ToThrive

@Gargron You live someplace safe from jealous billionaires, right? ๐Ÿ˜€

hey, it's darryl, :idle:

@Gargron The early adopters over the past 5-6 years paved the way for a relatively user friendly transition, so thanks to many of you. There will be a lot of confusion and frustration in the growing population as FOTM instances come and go, but this stress test is a welcome sight for mainstream fediverse!

hey, it's darryl, :idle:

@Gargron The primary Mastodon iOS app is, as of this toot, 5th most popular for social networking in the US. That puts it above FB Messenger, Telegram, and Discord, and trailing Gas, BeReal, WhatsApp, and FB proper. The only publicly visible metric is the # of ratings (1.2k for Mastodon, 105k-xxM for the rest). A search for Mastodon, of course, brings up a plethora of alternatives clients also ready to go.

hey, it's darryl, :idle:

@Gargron To continue this thought, that's huge! Despite a low number of App Store reviews, which are not even solicited to my knowledge, Mastodon is crushing well-established platforms in a subtle but important scoreboard.

Reviews are up to 1.4k this morning and Mastodon is now 4th most popular.

Ahmed Hassan

@Gargron its pleasure for me that i am one of them, keep going and improving.

@Gargron now if only the local and federated timeline at mastodon.online can be restored..

@Gargron Glรผckwunsch! Congratulations!
Signed up early this year and have been hoping it would take off. Thanks for your work!

Austin Kocher, PhD ๐ŸŒŽ

@Gargron Congratulations! Thatโ€™s a ton of people. Iโ€™m curious, Eugen, about your teams capacity and the hardware capacity. Any issues when it comes to scaling right now or any foreseeable issues? And any way we can help? Iโ€™m donating through Patreon and encourage everyone else to, too, but curious if there are other things to look out for.

marcoramirez

@Gargron I read an article about you and what yโ€™all do in this space. I switched from the Twitter right away. Thank YOU!

Tommi ๐Ÿคฏ

@Gargron

Now is the time when the focus should shift from scaling up and welcoming new users to committing to keeping them on here, trying to avoid the #Fediverse becoming a ghost universe populated by stale accounts.

Cartoffel

@Gargron danke fรผr deine Arbeit! Wird es je eine รผbergreifende Suche in der App geben? Wann kommen die ร„nderungen die du angekรผndigt hast in der App an?

@Gargron You're serious? We crossed the one million mark already? ๐Ÿคฏ

@Gargron It ain't a very fine move to hit people across their network. Shame on you, this is a peaceful place to communicate peacefully.

Ris Rani

@Gargron happy to be one of the newbies - you've got a real interesting app here ๐Ÿ’ƒ

@Gargron congratulations! The numbers are amazing but alsoโ€ฆthe work keeping up with them even more so!

@Gargron thatโ€™s insane!! WOW. Poor servers ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

Fabien Bodard

@Gargron

Really impressive in such a few time !

Jaswinder Singh

@Gargron That's great. Just don't hire the guy who got us all here. He's doing a great job over at Twitter.

Droid Boy

@Gargron Congrats! Is there a way to support that, by resources, by know how?

Denisse Takes

@droidboy @Gargron Perhaps donating to server admins? Mine had a link to a Kofi page.

Sarah

@Gargron so now I'm getting to grips with Mastodon (thanks btw) is it worth moving to a smaller server to spread the load? As I'm sure there'll be more of a Mastodon migration this week!

BaC ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ

@Gargron I tried a private Mattermost, it failed because family and friends have "Whatsapp". Signal does the trick now but to Twitter there is only one sane alternative. And here we are :)

Louis Grasset

@Gargron good stats ! Next step could be some marketing and finding a way to help migrating from twitter

Also : ยซ official ยป tooling to sync mstd and twitter

Aleksey (Aleks) Weyman

@Gargron good timing overall with the Twitter thing. Hopefully it sticks!

rodti

@Gargron Yeah not bad but I bet theyโ€™re mostly bot accounts. Iโ€™ll be negotiating hard when I finally buy .social ๐Ÿ˜œ
