Eugen RochkoDecided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.
KageNoTsuma@Gargron how does that make you feel?? It must be so shocking in a sense!!
Jordi Margalef@KageNoTsuma @Gargron new server capacity right now! 🥵🥵😁
Pedro Fernandes 👨💻@Gargron Keep going strong! ⚡
Ariadne Conill 🐰
@Gargron congratulations
mew 🏳️🌈@Gargron that's unbelievable! Wow.
ibro@Gargron That's a huge increase for just two weeks.
Clepanto 
@Gargron I need track into this subject 😂 I am genuinely amused
Dred@Clepanto @Gargron check out this account

ʞuᴉԀ ✅@Clepanto @Gargron You might find this interesting if you've not come across it before.

If you're technically minded there is also an API to query the data.
thwbh@Gargron what's really standing out is that scaling worked like a charm

Mastodon Belgium Admin@Gargron Totally bonkers !
John Samuel@Gargron This is great. I feel like this time, there are more people tooting. I also find a lot of relevant content on the hashtags I follow.
Shawn Sunshine Strickland 🌞1. You can search for a hashtag, e.g. #OpenSource on the search interface (web)
or
Change the URL https://mastodon.online/tags/OpenSource with a hashtag of your choice.
2. If you are on the web interface, you can see the search results and an icon (person) next to "Back". Click it to follow the hashtag.
3. Now toots related to OpenSource will appear on your timeline.
@Strickalator @Gargron I have not found this feature on apps like Tusky.

Johann van de Bron@Gargron Will the instances increase their capacities?
More and more seem to be closed. How does this work?

Maybe using #InviteLinks, if they’re still allowed on a given server? 🤔 💡 💁🏻♂️
People would need to communicate with each other to get them though… 😏 😉

@Johann_v_d_Bron yes. A lot of instances are closing new applications until they have had a chance to scale up.
Gabriel Pettier@Johann_v_d_Bron @Gargron people step up and create new servers, anyone can do it, although it's slightly (but really, not extraordinarly) technical, it's built to be decentralized, not dependent on any particular server, so it can't be destroyed by a billionnaire buying a particular server.
Zerov (he/him)@Gargron All thanks to Elno Msuk.
Fitness Foundry (Coach Julio)@Gargron Hello from Boston! I’m a newbie and grateful for Mastodon and the Fediverse.
I really like the community and emojis 
Caitlin mka Katie@Fitnessfoundry then spread the word like tapping the talking drums around to your friends that #mastodon gets better known in the US 😊
@fenriswitch 100% Agree! Sharing is caring ☯️
I am asking others to join and mentioning that the community is most helpful to newbies!
Mastodon is in my bio links and now on all my social media posts. 
Next step is to support with donations. Teamwork. 
Elizabeth Alcinoe@Fitnessfoundry Hi from Cambridge!
@alcinoe Hola! Cambridge rocks🎸
I’m in Malden and grew up in Boston. Nice to meet you.
@Fitnessfoundry Hola! Nice to meet here in a nice place!
@Fitnessfoundry @Gargron I also just joined from South Africa, can't wait to say I joined in 2022
@Fitnessfoundry @Gargron You too man.
Fiona Bianchi@Gargron that’s absolutely awesome 👏 🐘❤️

Janh1 💚💙@Gargron Blimey! 😂 Greetings 👋🌻
Natiq Malikzada@Gargron I joined yesterday and found this platform very good.
Darko Vršič@Gargron
How do you get this stats from different servers? Are all of them included?

@DarkoV @Gargron Maybe the server page at joinmastodon? Scroll to bottom on the left. https://joinmastodon.org/servers
Randy Noseworthy 😼 
Mirko Adam@Gargron On the way to #exponential!
Ivan Enderlin 🦀@Gargron any public page to get those stats? Congrats :-)
Deborah Rose@Gargron I just shared this on Twitter in a Tweet. I also see people sharing Twitter posts on Mastodon in a Toot. The interconnection that is taking place is crazy.
Michel@Gargron and Mastodon.social is running, no downtime no delay 🥰

Huw Martin@Gargron how are you feeling?
Michael M 
@Gargron awesome 🤘🏻
Marc Almeidaˎˊ˗@Gargron Sorry for the oftopic, I need to ask something out of pure curiosity, in this instance of Mastodon, the :verified: exists/works?
MinnesotaMinn@cibernicola @Gargron But it doesn't mean anything. You can self verify by doing some reference link wizardry to a personal web site. People with checks next to their name are just adding it like an emoji, don't pay attention to it.
Martin ███████I became a sponsor on the 27th, the last day before the bird got "freed". 💪
Sara@Gargron keep telling us what support you need from us. I have donated, happy to, but also happy to be educated. It’s already clear to me that Mastodon is different to Twitter, and not just an alternative. Trying to be mindful that there was a long established community here that might be feeling gategrashed.
Rev. Travis 🏴@Gargron that's incredible, but sounds exhausting for those working behind the scenes! I'm grateful to be here on the ground floor to watch it grow. I love my instance and how diverse the discussions are. I've only been here since Halloween and I am STOKED.
William 🌱@Gargron Congrats Eugen. You're awesome. Perhaps you should have this as your PP for a bit..
Maese Sonoro ⁂@Gargron Estaría muy bien crear algo que facilite la creación de nuevas instancias. No se exactamente cómo se haría pero por ejemplo a mi me haría ilusión colaborar con la mía, pero no tengo los conocimientos necesarios para ello.
Dr Shubhangi Karmakar@Gargron thanks for building such a wonderful new home for folks
orizuru@Gargron
Is there a place one could download these data from?
Would love to do some visualisations of it.
