Woke up to a new heavy influx of new users today. Mastodon.world grew from 31k users when I went to bed, to 36k this morning. 😲

Luckily the new server is holding up nicely (under 20% usage). Had to tweak some settings, other than that no issues. 🥳

Thanks for all who donated, making this possible. If you want to donate, here's the link: https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld

And welcome to all new inhabitants of the Mastodon world! 😀

Mastodon.world - Open Collective

Providing Fediverse instances to be used by anyone. (Mastodon, Lemmy, Calckey/Firefish etc)

@ruud That's excellent, Ruud. Congrats.
@TealCartoons You're one of my favourite accounts on our server. Love your cartoons!
@ruud Ah, thank you kindly. We're very grateful to you for all of your hard work.
@ruud is there a way to visually identify in the timeline the admin/staff of the server ?
(I understand that with twitter blue check debacle this seems a ludicrous question, but I'm really interested in this)
@stormsson There should be a badge on the profile, but I don't see it since the upgrade. I'll look into that.
You can see the staff at mastodon.world/about
@ruud thanks for the hard work! 🙏
Joined to find a new space for my Formula One passion, curious to see if it will be here!
@ThiesK_F1 @ruud Hi and welcome from a fellow #F1 fan. There is a growing community. We have some great live race chats. Hopefully if you follow me back you’ll get to connect with other fans. Official feed here @F1
@ruud I'll set up a regular donation next week.
@germilhistory Super, thanks!
@ruud Leaving twitter for good at the same time.
@ruud just supported, thanks for making this happen!
@ruud I'm new here and 2bh understand nothing about tech. I know I joined a server to register. Can you perhaps point me in the direction of nay instructions on how to navigate, find people etc. TIA
