#Mastodon network just passed 50.000 users. The distribution of them over instances still looks like a #longtail. https://mastodon.social/media/ItZnxjRVYOBbTebj__M

@xuv is it absolute number of accounts or actives accounts/activity? A lot of accounts have migrated

@bram Indeed. Good question. I'm just fetching data from instances.mastodon.xyz Do you have a better way to access this information?

@xuv the only other informations I've found are on "/about/more" of each instance which is parsed by @usercount https://github.com/josefkenny/usercount/blob/master/usercount.py#L97-L101

@bram Haaa. Interesting. I'm guessing instances....xyz is parsing the same thing. @usercount is only parsing .social it seems.

@xuv @usercount yes, only .social from the code but it's generic https://github.com/josefkenny/usercount/blob/master/usercount.py#L62
