I got asked this by a few different journalists today, so I'm just going to share the numbers. 10,801 people signed up on different Mastodon servers today, and 22,139 since last week.

Update: 49,215 new users across different Mastodon servers since yesterday. Probably a lot of them are actually from yesterday. My crawler only runs once a day so I get a bit of a delayed view of things.

So, that total... By the end of day, it's more like 70,849... That's quite a lot for a single day, isn't it. Federated social media is better than commercial silos, and I'm happy that more people are learning about it.

@Gargron Those numbers are numbers of the whole #fediverse, not just instances you manage, right?

@carsten They are numbers for all Mastodon servers, not just the ones I manage. But they are not numbers for the whole fediverse.

@Gargron Got it. Thanks.
