@Sarahp I think it's important to keep in mind that the #fediverse is much larger than just #Mastodon. Mastodon is just one #ActivityPub microblogging implementation.
While it's good to see that Mastodon's active user count rise, alternative implementations like #Akkoma & #Firefish have also seen their popularity rise in recent months.
The total number of active users on the fediverse, in the microblogging segment is larger than that 2.1M number as Eugen only reports Mastodon numbers.
