I still think I should put an estimated total number of users on joinmastodon.org just to counteract the fact that now the top servers all say stuff like "1k people" and "4k people", but I have no clue where, visually, to put something like "total number of users who you can reach: approx. 1.7 million" (or something to that effect)

@Gargron maybe "total federated users" right below the total instance users? like
-stable
-1k users
-connected to a community of 1.7M users ?

@pbandkate @Gargron it would be interesting to see this stat included on the /about/more page tbh -- there used to be a z-number for connected instances ("home to x users who authored y statuses; connected to z instances")

just a simple count of how many users are in the local db should be pretty simple to expose

@Gargron I'm not totally sure either but maybe in the "Find your community" part?

@Gargron
Maybe start be just mentioning it at the same time as you mention the number of instances?

@Gargron well I find it usefull maybe as a phrase on the site, but it would be really interesting to have it in each instance landing page too

It would probably fit really well on the intro blurb. "Follow friends and discover new ones (insert number here)."
