Mastodon has hit 2 million active users today!

Mastodon is the most stable social network I have used in a long time. Love it!

That's a lot of people that are realizing Silicon Valley is full of shit

Can someone tell me what Mastodon is like please, I have social network fatigue and can't be bothered to try another one? 😅

I'm doing my part!

Very cool, I am one of the 8800 😸

Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.

let’s gooo 👏🏼 the fediverse is getting bigger!

Wow, two million users, congratulations Mastodon!

Threads is at 100 million, so if they federate they will still be completely drowned out.

This is great! But generally can't see Mastadon overtaking any other major social platforms until it introduces an equivalent of For you feed from Twitter. The days of following specific people and hashtags is over, it's tedious and I don't give a shit about 3/4s of the feed.

2017-2020 Twitter was absolutely peak Twitter algorithm wise and thousands of users want that exact experience back, yet nobody will provide it.

Where are all those people. When I open it, I see empty feed.

Been on Mastodon since October 2022.

It's a great platform.

New achievement unlocked

And I still don't know how to use it, as in getting an interesting feed.

I would humbly submit calkey as an alternative. It's the best interface I've seen out of anything on the fediverse.

Yay! I still don’t know how to use anything that looks like twitter tho

A great win for decentralization and censorship resistant networks!

Joined yesterday, Elon boi going down a right wing rabbithole and the zucc-verse is not very appetizing.

What are the best Mastadon servers Linus/Tech related?

I joined recently! I gotta admit, I'm not sure what to do exactly....I've never been very good at social media. But I got one!

First time I hear about this but I can see already milions of rulles to accept before creating account so I'll pass.

Just saw that on fedidb, Hooray! Hehe

Highly irrelevant song to celebrate Mastodon's milestone!

What's the occasion?

WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL 🎵

Is it recommended to create an account specifically for Mastodon or just use your Lemmy-account? Will it fuck up my feeds/subs in some way if I only use one account for both? (I'm new to the whole fediverse thing)

Stay away from advertising money , if you need money to keep a server up then start a gofundme or a patreon or something ... make it community based so that your instance stays community based .

How do we check this?

What's the reason for mastodon to gain so many new users now suddenly? Didn't Elon Musk start wrecking it quite a while ago?

Neat!!!

And that's ACTIVE USERS

Heckin' yeah!
