       I got asked this by a few different journalists today, so I'm just going to share the numbers. 10,801 people signed up on different Mastodon servers today, and 22,139 since last week.

       I got asked out on a video interview for a TV channel today and dressed up really nicely, but I don't think the footage was used in the end. 🥲

       Signups have really been picking up later today. According to @mastodonusercount, the #Fediverse has gained roughly 6k users in the past two hours alone. The chart has a dramatically steep incline towards the current hour.

       @kaia @Gargron I don't know if there's any way for him to know that, but if so I'd be interested in those numbers as well

       Update: 49,215 new users across different Mastodon servers since yesterday. Probably a lot of them are actually from yesterday. My crawler only runs once a day so I get a bit of a delayed view of things.

       @Gargron hi Eugen, how to find users to follow? share interest list, social groups, relate topic? also, consider server grow and go public share market, help rapid grow.🤟

       @Gargron so do you have any plan to stop the fash muskbros from following us here? How would moderation work with 10 times more active users? With 100 times? 1000 times?

       @bajmihalYou don't. That's kind of the point of the fediverse. Helps avoid situations like having an entire platform of people who think that because Elon does it, it must be a bad thing, and therefore be censored in some way.@Gargron

       So, that total... By the end of day, it's more like 70,849... That's quite a lot for a single day, isn't it. Federated social media is better than commercial silos, and I'm happy that more people are learning about it.

       @raphaelmorgan @kaia @Gargron There's a way to know that, but it is difficult to know for certain and there are sometimes warts in the data.  If we count baraag.net (which seems unreachable for a couple of hours, though this happens sometimes; http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/baraag.net ), there are 5,956,402 accounts on fedi at time of writing.

       @Gargron Those numbers are numbers of the whole #fediverse, not just instances you manage, right?

       @carsten They are numbers for all Mastodon servers, not just the ones I manage. But they are not numbers for the whole fediverse.

       @Gargron Just wait until Trump and Infowars are reinstated on Twitter. I hope Mastodon can handle the load.

       @orci @Gargron The federated ecosystem can handle the load. It’s more a question of whether the flagship instances can keep up. 😊

       @ramsey @orci @Gargron  this is a good argument that one key way to help the Fediverse project is to launch or support more instances….

       @Gargron I did a radio i/v some years ago and it didn't get used as planned.Then the next morning the clockradio came on... and it was me talking. Your time may just be delayed a little!
