Mastodon's monthly active user numbers have risen by 84,579 since the Twitter buyout story broke on Monday (and I do mean across the Mastodon network, not this server)
Mastodon has gained 106,723 monthly active users since the end of March (when Elon bought 9.2% of Twitter's shares). 93,603 are new accounts. Overall that's a 42% increase in Mastodon's MAU.
@Gargron I remember there used to be a bit that showed daily graphs of active/new users and posts by hour.
@carbontwelve @Gargron There's a bot I follow that shows exactly that information.
@mathlover2 could you let me know which one please?
@mathlover2 @carbontwelve It'd be neat to get a dump of their mastostats.csv file, which presumably has years of data in it. I'd open a github Issue, but they disabled Issues for that repo. https://github.com/gallizoltan/usercount
@mathlover2 thank you. That looks like it’s a maintained fork of the one I used to follow.
