awwwyissss, “The service, which competes with X (formerly Twitter) and other newcomers like Threads, Bluesky, Pebble and Spill, had been undercounting its users due to a network connectivity error, according to founder and CEO Eugen Rochko, and actually has 407,814 more monthly active users than it had been reporting previously. The adjustment also included a gain of 2.34 million registered users across an additional 727 servers that had not been counted due to the error.”
superflippy, TIL Mastodon has a CEO.
Furball, The main mastodon instance that runs the main app does
Devious_Thoughts, Catching up to Twitter quickly lately, personally seen a lot more activity in my instances 😎
Only think I miss from Twitter is quote tweeting though 😩
Cylusthevirus, Were they like ... under the sofa?
Devious_Thoughts, In the closet
Vilian, they probably just coming out
TheRealCharlesEames, Mastodon is better than peak twitter for me at this point
loobkoob, Any recommendations for people/topics to follow?
superflippy, Get yourself a good app & it can give you recommendations. Personally, I’m using IceCubes & really like it.
Also, look up the FollowFriday hashtag to see who others recommend. Cory Doctorow is there, so are Jeff Jarvis & Amanda Marcotte.
Lon3star, Depends on what you’re interested in. The search/discover functions are vastly improved since a few months ago.
MysticKetchup, Any good way to sort search results? Only seeing results by latest is making it hard to find anything

loobkoob, These are some great resources, thank you!
I've always found it a bit of a struggle to build a new feed from scratch. Once I've got a decent foundation, it's easy enough to see who my follows are interacting with and follow them, see what topics get brought up that I may not have thought about and follow them, etc.
Twitter wasn't too bad when I started with it because all my friends were on it and all my favourite musicians, game designers, directors, etc, were on it. It was easy to build up a starting network fairly quickly. But with Mastodon, none of my friends really care for microblogging any more, and a lot of the artists and individuals I'm interested in haven't switched to it yet, so getting that initial foundation going has been a struggle for me. I guess subscribing to hashtags is the solution to that problem!
It looks like the combination of the directories you linked should be really useful, thank you again!
