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 πŸŽ‰
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.  βœŠ
@Gargron Well done! πŸ’ͺ
@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!
@Gargron that’s fantastic!!!! Thank you for all that you do πŸ™
@Gargron to the moon! Democracy will win, oligarchy perish.

@Gargron congrats!

Do you have a plan to switch from favorites to likes?

@ratushny @Gargron No, because Favourites are personal to you and are not aggregated. Likes are a birdsite thang.
@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.
@ratushny @Gargron Good point. The Favoriting is more like a book mark. Not the right thing when you just want to applaud or agree.
@ratushny @Gargron Maybe the Like could be improved on in the process. Like, love, bored, hate, applaud, WTH, OFF, boo, racist, conspiracy, suspected bot, misinformation..

@Gargron I wonder who is "we"?

- Fediverse
- All public Mastodon Servers combined
- mastadon.social

@jeena @Gargron pretty sure he’s referring just to mastodon servers
@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 @Gargron agree!
Your server should be pretty seamless to you as far as I can see...

@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?

@twipped @Gargron There's a CLI command for that: tootctl domains crawl

See: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/

@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

@dotmatrix @Gargron aha, thank you. So its only hitting those activitypub peers which implement those endpoints.

So the real number is likely larger

@twipped @dotmatrix @Gargron

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
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 πŸ˜„
@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!
@Gargron Thank U! πŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸ˜€
@Gargron Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration and leadership!
