@Gargron I just joined, this is looking great.

@Gargron please help - I requested a password reset email but it hasn’t arrived and not in spam either. Has been a few hours…

@Gargron
Hope y'all buy my book when it is released!

@Gargron I joined today. Hope to make some impact

@Gargron Thanks for your work. You really rock social media 🥰

@Gargron já sabe né

@Gargron weeeee congrats !🎈🎉🍾🎊

@Gargron Awesome. Let's spread the word!

@Gargron How awesome! I mostly joined to learn how this worked and keep my skills sharp, but I'm enjoying my time on here.

@Gargron I think that would be very impressive under normal circumstances. But with dozens of millions of Twitter users that all have a need a home these numbers feel low to me.

Of course Mastodon is not for every Twitter user and it really shouldn't appeal to them.

But anyone that wants to have a sincere conversations about a topic that matters to them should be lured to join.

Mastodon needs more critical mass quickly - otherwise many users might wonder off again.

Best of luck!!!!!

@Gargron congrats! Hopefully people will finally start to realize that there is better.

@Gargron is it possible to make a “one click create new server option” for non technical users? Like a helper service that sets up a mastodon instance for you on gcloud/azure/aws for a fee.

@Gargron I’m new here - closing up my twitter shop & trying mastodon out. Hello from Tennessee!

@Gargron is there a growth chart we can see somewhere?

@Gargron Amazing! Congrats!

@Gargron I am out of here. The system is just too slow and not at all what I was expecting. I tried to switch servers but that did not work well. Hopefully, you will get things figured out but for now, this is not for me.

@Gargron is there any public dashboard for these stats?

@Gargron Congrats! Just joined and looking forward to building my account here

@Gargron Couldn't access mstdn.social or mastodon.social servers 😭

@Gargron yes.

@Gargron good

@Gargron is there a way to tell what number I am so I can poke out my friends eyes saying I was here first 😁

@Gargron congratulations. Vibe allready seems so different than twitter. Thank you for providing a alternative.

@Gargron Fantastic.

@Gargron Have you heard about the ongoing trading platform which gives you access to monitor your crypto trading account and recover your lost money if you have in any way traded with a wrong broker You can get to her on what'sapp +① (②⓪⑨)②⑥⑤-③⑧⑤⑥

@Gargron awesome. This looks like a nice place to meet up at for all our sm needs. Im jist having problems finding others via search while adding their name. Any suggestions?

@Gargron More than cool! Hopefully Mastodon will grow into a reasonable alternative to Twitter and others. One suggestion..? I don't know that the black background is very inviting.

@Gargron kudos!

@Gargron you should be very satisfied. You couldn’t know Twitter would self immolate, but we’re glad you recognized the opty to create an alternative.

@Gargron dang

@Gargron over 1000 new SERVERS since a little over a week ago?

Servers, not people. Wow.

THAT is the fediverse.

@Gargron is this information publicly available for us to watch the growth?

@Gargron agree, looking forward to finally getting free speech on this platform!

@Gargron Just joined after being on Twitter since 2009. Still trying to maneuver around.

@Gargron congratulations! Phenomenal growth and happy to be here.

@Gargron 👍

@Gargron this app is awful

@Gargron took very long hours to verify my email. Almost forgot about it.

@Gargron Congrats! A massive week for the platform! 🎉

@Gargron trying to understand mastodon

@Gargron What are your hosting costs with 1 million MAUs?

@Gargron hmmm... Are you hiring maybe? I'd like to try joining you

@Gargron Should continue to go up

@Gargron Got a couple heading over from The Bird. What is the best link you have so they can set up and get running on here? I'm here but forgot (I'm old) how I got started.

@Gargron congratulations! How can I help? :blobaww:

@Gargron

Hi There, I have registered on @mastodon.online and followed many of the same people I followed on twitter. But whereas tweets seem to be current - The Toots I have here are hours old - Is this just the servers struggling with new members ?

@Gargron nice to be here from the other place!

@Gargron I just joined! Thanks to @NewYorkTimes

@Gargron that’s going to bring a profound change in the communities. I am optimistic and like what I see.

Thanks for all that you and the instance admins do!
#

@Gargron I know things must be crazy for you all, but we appreciate that you’re here!

@Gargron new user ...😁

@gargron Congratulations

@Gargron I don’t understand this app tbfh

@Gargron what will happen when admins of some instance will get bored or their financial situation change? Is there any mechanism to still use your account when your instance goes down?

How about providing a mechanism to have some advertising on mastodon to help offset the cost of hosting?
Thanks.

@Gargron hey new user here - first post 👋

@Gargron Are there any active official relays?

@Gargron very cool!

@Gargron Really curious what the stats looked like today, given that the instance appeared to be struggling to keep up with the clock for large parts of it.

#server #statistics #mastodon

@Gargron how do I change my server?

@Gargron yooo that's awesome!

@Gargron

@Gargron

@Gargron how many total?

@Gargron Glückwunsch! Ich hoffe, Ihre Firma macht es besser als Twitter.

@Gargron monthly active *people*

@Gargron congrats but I noticed also that servers are very, very, very slow.
Activation of my account took 2 days. 😂

@Gargron waw, nice 🙂

@Gargron You're doing a great job coping with the migration and the community is so welcoming

@Gargron thanks for your work!

@Gargron hope this gives #Mastodon a boost

@Gargron Hi there! We're new here. Hope you can help? Where can we find a directory of active mastodon servers/communities?
Also, do we need to open separate accounts in other communities to see posts of users to invite to our classroom here on mastodon.social ?

That's cool! Where do these numbers (1.02M) come from? I am asking because the-federation.info lists 5M+ users for Mastodon.

@Gargron Great work to get us here!! hope we can trust you and your team to lead us to the right destination.
Are we heading into #web3

@Gargron my first post, congrats I really hope Mastodon takes over the world!

@Gargron Hey do you know where can I find #stats about this growing or maybe even plots?

@Gargron Impressive!
And it seems you're annoying Elon, too! 😆

@Gargron That is remarkable growth, especially the instances.

@Gargron
It will only get more, the move from Twitter is just gaining momentum.

@Gargron I am working on one as well..
Can we don something about toot portability?

@Gargron
This is incredible, if anyone wants to have free servers at #threefold which is a decentralized cloud see: https://forum.threefold.io/t/reserve-your-free-mastodon-server/3473

@Gargron Incredible! Thanks for all you do to make this a warm cozy place for everyone!

@Gargron according to the #nyt, a lot of people left Twitter. Very likely related…

@Gargron hi. I’m one of the former Twitter users that migrated. It took me a while to learn how to log in on the app but now that I have I’m eager to learn the ins and outs of Mastodon. Thank you!

@Gargron congratulations!

@Gargron I can NOT believe I'm saying this, but I'm thinking of trying to get a Mastadon #server in my local public #Library. How would I start to learn about hosting?

@Gargron @productmanagement

Milestones must be celebrated. 1000+ new instances and 1MM+ MAU is not a bad day. There will obviously be the dip after. What can the community do to keep the momentum going?

Personally, I'd like to see more creators coming here and even hosting their own mastodon instances. It's not that different than having your own "discord" server except you also need to likely create your own monetization mechanics

@Gargron hello, I'd like to make a one off donation, how can I do that? I've used the link to Patreon but that seems to be ongoing subs, sorry if I'm being a bit dim.

@Gargron Wow, it's party time! 👍😮 🎉 🎁

@Gargron

@Gargron that's too cool :Ddddddd

@Gargron

Any instructions anywhere on here?

I'm a newbie. X

@Gargron is there somewhere we can go to see a list of all servers?

@Gargron glad to be here ☺️

@Gargron That's amazing and wonderful! Thank you for creating this!

Also, kind of weird that many new servers have joined. Wonder if it's related to this error when loading https://joinmastodon.org/servers?

@Gargron prepare to scale up and out by at least an order of magnitude, maybe 2. I am sure you have... We are converts (55k followers on Twitter). Donie O‘Sullivan joined up yesterday (about 300k) and Stephen Fry joined and closed his Twitter account (12.5 million) ..,
