Hey, isn't this interesting? Turns out Mastodon is actually way bigger than @gargron@mastodon.social originally thought! It seems that its userbase has been significantly undercounted.

By how much, you ask? Well, we're talking about 407,000+ monthly users!

So, with these new numbers, Mastodon actually boasts an impressive 1.8 million monthly active users (MAUs).

But hang on, that's not the whole story. The Fediverse itself is even larger than Mastodon. There are millions of people connecting to the Fediverse through various platforms like Lemmy, WordPress, Firefish, micro.blog, and more! My hunch is that these platforms might also have been undercounted, although I can't confirm it for sure.
