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 bad performance encountered. Buggy interface. Do something.

@Gargron Hey, I'm from the Philippines, and I'd get your help with how I can create a Philippine server? Thank you.

@Gargron about 8 more doublings to go to overtake twitter, should take about 3 months at this speed

@Gargron this is my first day here. looking around to find some interesting peeps...

@Gargron What are we learning about scalability?

@Gargron I wish I could watch the numbers like socialblade lol

@Gargron I'm liking it quite a bit so far. There is some confusion over how it works and some bugs and delays. But I do like the atmosphere and the way it finds people with my interests for me. There are some changes I'd like, but I do think it has promise.

@Gargron ,Extremely Cool, & #SocialMedia Was Always Meant To Be About Expanding, Sharing, Interactions, Connections/Networks, Overlaps, Chatting, Raising Awareness, Movements, Petitions, Campaigns, Research/Researching, & More,

Just Like: #Uk Created #WWW ,As 100% Open Source, Growing, Expanding, Education, Freedoms, Awareness, Etc, To Too :) 😀

@Gargron Ah oui, quand même ! ⤴️ 🤔

@Gargron Hello! mastodon is loading really slow for me, could something be wrong with the server I made my account in? How can I move to a different server?

KielbasaNova 🐈💨

@Gargron plenty of hold outs are waiting for the ship to sink completely, but I can see this being the shore most will swim to for their social media needs.

Dr Koh

@Gargron it is me or the overall server super slow….

Keiþ 🔭

@Gargron That’s amazing. Quite a few of the servers look like they need some work to deal with becoming massively popular.

Uruguayo

@Gargron Great! I'm just arriving here but i found it interesting so far

Uruguayo

@Gargron 👏👏👏 Soy recién llegado pero parece estar buena! Veremos que depara Mastodon

Roger Nield

Hi @Gargron best of all it appears to be a kinder platform. Good Luck.

Dirk Henkel

@Gargron Thank you for your great work!
(I guess it kinda exploded these days...)

Gogzter

@Gargron yeh but sadly they ate mostly weirdo woke castaways from twitter

Phancypants

@Gargron is definitely more lively in here, and everyone seems to just be chill and friendly after leaving the bird site

CircuitSacul

@Gargron Nice! I'm hopeful that more and more services will be replaced by decentralized systems.

Clatherious

@Gargron I'm still trying to figure out how to use it 🤣

António Monteiro

@Gargron That's amazing! I wonder how the the traffic of mastodon networks would look like.

john mizerek 🤡

@Gargron

spectacular!

what happens when VC comes knocking?

Person K

@Gargron need to get things going. As of now servers all seem offline or super slow. How can we help?

Richard

@Gargron right now the app feels too slow 😔

@Gargron ك فيل جديد شو بتعنيلي هالارقام وانا بغرد ويرد الصدى.

@Gargron Federated has bad UX. I got linked to this tweet, I click Like but my account is on a different server, so I'm told to copy paste the url into "the search bar of my favorite app" and I'm lost for several minutes. Is the UX fixable or is it permanently broken by design?

Amanda 👩🏻‍💻

@Gargron thanks for having us Twitter refugees!! Will take a bit to find my footing but I think I’m going to like this!

BRSxIgnition

@Gargron I'd love to leave Twitter, but the split up (Federated?) servers of Mastodon leave it feeling like you took the big tent at a circus and gave everyone a slice, instead of letting everyone enjoy the whole circus.

I feel like, sure, I can still see a few of the performers in the centre, and people in my section, but I can't see all of the performers, nor can I see any users in any other sections.

That is to say, it feels empty, isolated, and hard to navigate.

Scott Edwards

@Gargron so excited to see this happening! Seems like we are benefitting the most of all the #fediverse from the falling bird -- hoping we leave #bluesky in the dust (personally think Dorsey should have just given @Mastodon a boat load of cash). Any thoughts on why we are benefiting more than other networks? Do you plan on posting something more long form on your thoughts about this amazing #momentInTime ?

thepolyorchid

@Gargron Congratulations! As a complete newbie, I'm trying to find my way around. But looking forward to the journey.

Person K

@Gargron need to do more to scale up. How can I help?

Lena S.

@Gargron How can I make the font smaller? 🙏

@Gargron Searching is failing too often, hard to search for folk 🤷‍♀️

@Gargron

Remarkable.
Hope, many more to come.🍀

agusnotfound.exe

@Gargron you're receiving people from south america now, but ofc you already knew this ♡

Mattias Schlenker

@Gargron Great job scaling the software and working on the protocol. Me, a year ago: "Might join Mastodon…", Half a year ago, I did, and stated "Might start a server…" I did and I do not know where it will end. Have to catch up, move to my own server…

John Kilby

@Gargron Nice! If you make your onboarding more intuitive, you’ll have even more!

Alex

@Gargron here is a wish you’d remove the News section and replace it with something that addresses the smallest common denominator rather than stuff we can read elsewhere. Please.

Ајс Ти

@Gargron I just can't understand that with the servers. If some friend choice different server than me, we can't follow each other here?

Miguel/ミゲル
@icebucks7 @Gargron you can! We're all from different servers right now even
creepingdeath

@Gargron I have no idea what I'm doing, but mastodon seems awesome.

StoneMountain

@Gargron it is really cool. After being on Masto for about a week, I am very happy to be here. It will never be Twitter, which is a good thing.

Paul H. Goldstein

@Gargron Please see my posts. Hardly any aspect of Mastodon is working for me. I want to leave Twitter. Please help!

Admiral Craymen 🏳️‍⚧️

@paulhgoldstein @Gargron #MastodonOnline has been having issues for a few days. I'm assuming it's from heavy traffic. I hope something is being worked on so it works properly.

Harrison Starr

@Admiral_Craymen @paulhgoldstein @Gargron
My Home feed is 10-hours old. Even if I get an an occasional "new post" - it's still that old. It was backlogged that far yesterday, too - meaning it's consistently that old. If you check out any individual follow, they are posting WAY more often than that. Anyway, trying to be patient and hoping things improve.

Gaukh :smug:

@Gargron Hey Gargron, can you actually keep up with the amount of new users? Serverwise? Monetary struggles if so many new users arrive on mastodon.social?

Cath Fyffe O'Connor

@Gargron I am at a loss as to how I share this with my twitter account @cath_oco. Help!

Siddhesh Chaudhari

Hey @Gargron, great to see this cool platform!

I recently moved to this as most other social media went down in the quest of capitalising on users.

Looking forward to exciting socialising with diverse people here!

Tytus

@Gargron #NAFO is here also where are the Vatniks ?

Nafnlaus 🇮🇸 🇺🇦

@tytus @Gargron I dealt with a "We're Not Trying Hard Enough For Peace, We Need To Peace Harder!" person earlier. Not exactly a vatnik, but a useful tool.

Hey, now we're all millionaires!😍👍🏼

@Gargron Just signed up as a Patreon sponsor. Keep up the great work. :)

Hair of the Dawg

@Gargron Congrats! This success is making me consider adding a Mastodon server on my current server.

Miguel/ミゲル
@hairofthedawg Pleroma is more lightweight and has more features!
Welington 🐘

@Gargron Congratulations!

Now, That rockets guy can shut the Twitter servers down or wherever. Who will care about them!?

MoniFunGirl

@Gargron I'm new here.... looks good this far. 👌

Masol

@Gargron

Hi.

I'm new here.

I decided to join this app cause the other social media sites have too much censorship as in they aren't very considerate or caring about their users.

Deborah Rose

@Gargron This is great news! Expect a much larger #TwitterMigration after the elections are over. Things are deteriorating fast over there. Best wishes!

Shadow Heart

@Gargron oof. Glad to see the growth but many instance admins are going to need extra help handling this much extra traffic.

DELETED

@Gargron @gretathunberg Now that is has gotten way bigger, what do we do about people who pretend to be someone else?

Fibonacci

@Gargron Watch... it will grow into many millions in the next few weeks... especially after the US elections.

Eugen:

I’m struggling with my login. Got my e-mail confirmed, set up my password and the login screen doesn’t like either of them in my Safari Browser. Tried to request password reset and have not gotten the e-mail for that.

Can you assist?

Thanks!

Daniel 💙🇺🇦🇪🇺🍀🌍🏳️‍🌈✌🏽✌🏿

@Gargron hi there - I’m requesting a password reset because I want to log in on another device and forgot my password. But sadly no email is arriving (not in spam box either). Any chance to help me?

Katerina Ilievska

@Danielrembrandt @Gargron patience! I got the pass-reset email after app. 5-6 hours of requesting.

Alisa Kaplan

@Gargron I'm excited to be here, thank you for this service! When I click "Home" it just says "Your Home feed is being prepared." Is this just overwhelmed servers or is something else going on? I've only followed a couple people so far.
