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 I've found the change wonderfully refreshing. Hadn't used the Twit for years. This is a good place to be. @Gargron I like it, VERY MUCH, but it is some complicated..for me. IΒ΄ll learn, it is just practice. @Gargron I love it!!! β€ Thank you for reimaging a digital space that is human-centered and open-sourced! @Gargron as someone (sorry for not attributing!) put it recently, itβs cool to see network effects happening in real-time - thank you for your hard work and welcoming spirit! @Gargron I joined yesterday! So, we are all looking for a new place to land. We'll see how this goes, but so far so good.

@albnelson @Gargron sign up to the mastodon Patreon! Only $1 a month for base tier. https://www.patreon.com/mastodon?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan @Gargron super excited for this opportunity to actually give Mastodon a shot! I hope us #TwitterRefugees bring life and diversity to join in with the cool things happening here and don't overwhelm the existing communities. It seems like you've built something neat here. @Gargron until u got some influential person on this platform, it's not going to grow. It's time to advertise. @Gargron Excellent  @Gargron congratulations. And thank you for creating a place for #Twittermirgration refugees. @Gargron Thank you for all that you're doing here. Growth can be rough and I hope you can find space to sit back, relax, and enjoy! π  It is. Though, it obviously comes at a cost. We're seeing a bunch of 502's slow response times, and long waits between a post and it showing up on the fediverse. I'm happy to become a patron - just did in fact - however, there needs to be a standard, obvious avenue for a user to contribute. Going through the server-specific "About" link isn't clear enough, IMO; we should let admins stick a "keep the lights on" link between "About" and "Invite people" in the server-specific links. @Gargron welcome to the 1M club. Wonder when you will see 2M (fun to map doubling rates). @Gargron except that all timelines have stopped and are frozen, the system reads offline, and the mastodon.online instance is pushing back imported content as publication failures. So, not real neat if the goal is to use this network to communicate. I can only image this number is going to grow, and grow, and grow! π As part of the #TwitterMigration, thank you @Gargron for creating Mastodon ! @Gargron And it can only grow from here. Things are changing in the social media world, and I'm excited to see what Mastadon can achieve. @Gargron absorving even 10% of the bird users means youΒ΄ll get 40x bigger than you are today... servers be sweating bullets @Gargron itβs achingly slow though. Iβm trying to search for someone and hit the search button and nothing happens @Gargron that's incredible. Glad to be here. How can we help? Donations? Or any other help required? @Gargron Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do. I'm sure you're running around with no time to breathe so also take whatever moments for yourself you can!  Are these 1124 new servers all running the Mastodon software, or does this number include some other possible compatible implementations such as Pleroma? Either way, sounds quite cool indeed. @Gargron Thanks for making a place for us. I'm feeling very optimistic about this new-to-me community.  @Gargron do you have a chart that shows user number growth over time? Iβm writing a piece on Mastodon and the end of the line for Twitter |
@Gargron and I'm one of those new users :)
