And how many users does Mastodon have?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

About a million active users each month

Edit: Damn, 10 million users, 1 million active daily, see other comment. My source was this, the one from the other comment is certainly more trustworthy https://adamconnell.me/social-media-platforms/#%3A%7E%3Atext=larger+social+network.-%2CStats%3A%2Cat+the+end+of+2022

which is less than bsky, but more than lemmy.

I think a lot of people get sucked into the idea that more is better. But that isn't necessarily the case. I don't think any of us really want to talk to a million different people anyway. We just want to talk to a suitable subset.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

But with less people, the chance of you finding the subsets that interests you or fit your interests better is much lower, and that's one of the main issue.

Roughly 10 million.

I would consider 1/3 a notable contender. Granted, only ~1 million of those users are active daily, but that's still very significant for a FOSS alternative.

Those numbers are small in the grand scheme of things, but for a newer and open source community developed project those are absurd numbers, ESPECIALLY because it isn't a flash in the pan, many of those users call the fediverse home and use it daily.
