Gregory's ServerHey, 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 Is there a list of active users per instance, somewhere? It would also help me in assessing some tricky regulatory matters. @LukaszOlejnik @Gargron Hi! There's several websites for that like https://the-federation.info/ or https://fedidb.org/network :-)    @Gargron@mastodon.social It'd be cooler if you would man up and recognize there's more than just #Mastodon on the #Fediverse.  @killyourfm @Gargron and all the other folks who did various bits from getting the recommendations up; to implementations across platforms to the polish on the UI! <3 every bit of it. @Gargron This is pretty amazing! I definitely see a big difference on the platform lately with so many new people. I enjoy this new influx of fascinating profiles. @Gargron Very cool indeed, happy to be a tiny one account only instance and join in this fediverse. @gargron that’s wonderful to hear! I’ve certainly noticed a lot of activity on my recent toot! @Gargron Congrats! I think Mastodon should rename 'instances' to 'Communities' Instances feels too technical, and I see even savvy people struggling to understand it. I argue communities would make much more sense. It denotes much of the purpose behind 'why' this service has different instances, and many people will already be familiar with the concept. @Gargron Eugen, are new registrations on dot social blocked because of the numbers? I was hoping to change server.  It never ceases to amaze me how much effort they put into this truly wonderful, head-cleansing place! @Gargron not cool of you to reap the glory that clearly belongs to our great leader Elon  @Gargron But now there are tens of thousands of people on mastodononline who are NEW users :mastodon: and don't know what's going on :blobugh: It would be good to make some kind of official #notification (or at least a post) to all #mastodononline users with information when they can expect the #server to be up and running again, or at least that it's still down.... @mariababy and mastodon.online too, it's his 2nd instance. Look: mastodon.online ADMINISTERED BY: @Gargron l can’t see followers of the people I know, I keep getting the “mastodon followers from other servers cannot be seen” message. For example I like celebrity news so I’m trying to curate my feed with celebrity info like I had with my twitter friends but I can’t see their friends so i can’t build up my network here? Is there an option to use a general ‘all servers’ filter? @Gargron @shanselman this is the time when you will start focusing on scalability more than usability unless you get lots of help and support. Many of us are willing to help in some way. As a product manager I am available to help manage priorities and discuss what is important with you and your team, but clearly you'll also need raw engineering horsepower. @Gargron It cannot be easy to be the chosen Twitter Lifeboat. But you and your team are doing good so far. Much appreciation. @Gargron Congrats indeed! I am one of the new joiners, still getting to grips with the platform. 👍 @Gargron I’m new here so I suppose congratulations are in order now! I’m loving the #introduction posts… they’re like being at an AA meeting! I can see that there is a lot of love for this, but I am wondering, are you concerned about the possibility of an Eternal September if a Muskagedon truly does happen on the birdsite?  @Gargron Please make sure you have an organisation that can scale in addition to just yourself :) <3 (Commenting as both previous Global Head of Software as well as being a burnout survivor)  @Gargron Congrats indeed! I am one of the new joiners, still getting to grips with the platform. 👍 @Gargron 👏👏 how about next project is to create a community based shopping platform allowing users to set up stalls while platform arranges distribution & marketing? Would be nice to offer a mutualised alternative to youknowwhat… #downwithtechbillionaires @Gargron The more I use this (being a Twitter refugee), the more I think I can cope. Give me a month and I think I'll have got into the Mastodon mindset! @Gargron is this massive influx the reason I'm not seeing anything in my #local or #federated #timelines on .online? Other users seem to be having the same issue. Glad to see lots of new users nonetheless @speyquine @Gargron in my opinion that really depends on your technical skill level. Also highly depends if you run a source code installation or docker based one. Docker currently isn‘t much documented as of now and does require fiddling. Slight ruby knowledge or at least of it‘s processes like puma helps a lot as well. @speyquine learning curve indeed. Took me roughly 2-3 hours if that helps. There‘s also software as a service options if you don‘t want to burden the maintenance part on your own shoulders. @mrgeneration ok thanks for the info! I'm really busy so probably won't look into it for a bit. @Gargron congrats!  @Gargron Great work by you, all the coders and instance sysadmins who made this quirky, wonderful place possible! @Gargron as part of the #twittermigration I am one of those new users. Thank you for letting me join. Excited to talk about books, comic books and travel. @Gargron Is there a visual or non-visual representation of users per instance (server)? How many users (in %) are on mastodon.social? @Gargron as part of #TwitterMigration I am one of those new active users. I will write the features Mastodon provide on my Linkedin page and lead my peeps to migrate. Lmao. Danke schön 🫰🏻❤️ |
@Gargron Well, I guess we have to thank Elon Musk for this.
