Update on the growth of #mastodon in the last months. After the big wave of new accounts on Nov 17th, the growth seems steady for the last week at around 50k new accounts/users per day. Only in the last couple of weeks, 1M new accounts were added. At this rhythm, #mastodon will get 1.5M accounts/users per month.

@estebanmoro I realize this may be very tough due to decentralization, but is there any kind of rough daily/weekly use estimate to know how many are using the accounts as opposed to preparing in case of future need?

@foobarsoft @estebanmoro I probably am doing something wrong. I am old. But there doesn’t seem to be all that much interaction. Not many new posts a day. I understand quantity isn’t necessarily quality but it is hard to find a group of like minded people here. Liberal, news junkies, climate protectors, anti book banning, pro Roe. Do we all have not much to say? How about today’s convictions on seditious conspiracy?

@browncarol Many journalists are on the instance journa.host.
Another thing you can do is to go to the journa.host instance local feed page:

https://journa.host/public/local

It will pop up a new window and you can scan the posts and follow people that you are interested in. It's a bit tricky because you will need to cut and paste any addresses from the journa.host window into your # search bar, look up the person and then follow them.

Would that work by putting the name of any server you would like to be reading in the first part? Thanks.
