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 congratulations 
I'm glad to be here 
@Gargron I just joined what's app man!
@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. 
@Gargron Way to go!!
@Gargron Well done! 
@Gargron You’ve got a wonderful thing here, and thank you for choosing not to have a quote feature. Very smart choice. Wishing you the best!
@BillBuster @Gargron we have a quote feature here on my instance
@Gargron Congratulations!
@Gargron Extraordinarius!
@Gargron that’s fantastic!!!! Thank you for all that you do 
@Gargron to the moon! Democracy will win, oligarchy perish.
@Gargron Amazing.
@Gargron congrats!
Do you have a plan to switch from favorites to likes?
@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.
@Gargron wow, that's amazing.
@Gargron I wonder who is "we"?
- Fediverse
- All public Mastodon Servers combined
- mastadon.social
@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.
@wanless there are tools to automate that like https://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
@Gargron that is awesome. Thank you for all your work.
@Gargron congrats, way more to go!
@Gargron how do@you measure that?
@Gargron @dotmatrix I’m not asking how to do it myself, I’m asking what mechanic is being used. Seems like it would rely on who is federating with your own server
@twipped @Gargron You can see exactly how it works here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/lib/mastodon/domains_cli.rb
@dotmatrix @Gargron aha, thank you. So its only hitting those activitypub peers which implement those endpoints.
So the real number is likely larger
Is there a feed to see Monthly Active Users right now?
@Gargron I'm just in and try figuring out how it all works with servers etc.

@Gargron that's a massive number!
@Gargron Congratulations, dear Gargron!
@Gargron sick shit
@Gargron Just the start!
@Gargron Congratulations, but this application needs a serious update because it lacks many things
@naybysteev @Gargron Use the mobile web version. Way better.
@eugenialoli @Gargron you don't use the app ?
@Gargron wow!! That is amazing!
@Gargron
Congrats and many thanks for all the great work done!
From one of those new comers who is running a new server too!
@Gargron pretty cool indeed. Have a wonderul day 
@Gargron theres some magic happening
@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.
@WendyMsGator @Gargron Most mainstream instances defederate the ugly hateful ones, which is a breath of fresh air imo
@Gargron amazing job over the past few weeks!
