mastodon's growth
Amazing - 4k per hour.
The question is: is this a good thing?

SJ_Zero, The concern I always have is that the fediverse is amazing and wonderful, and I don’t want anyone coming in and breaking it.
The mastodon side usually has a bit of a culture shock because mastodon isn’t Twitter, just like Lemmy isn’t reddit. People keep acting like it’s Twitter and they have a reality check fast.
throws_lemy, More people flock to mastodon.social? No
mookulator, I’m down with it. I would like to occasionally hear what influential thinkers/creators etc have to say, but don’t want to use Twitter to hear it.
Kaldo, Same, and even on twitter it's getting harder to hear them - not even due to the recent rate limits but just their shitty algorithm pushing stuff to my feed that I'm not even following. I'd be happy to have these individuals on mastodon, even if it's .social, they can only improve and legitimize the platform by contributing to it.
toasteranimation, Can we interact with Mastodon users using wefwef here logged into lemmy.world account? Do their posts just show up like any other? Thanks. Trying to understand
UnhappyCamper, (edited ) My understanding is that only kbin can interact with both Lemmy and Mastodon while also showing its own threads/magazines/whatever. Lemmy can only see Lemmy and Mastadon can only see Mastodon.
I'm on kbin and also have access to read and comment on Lemmy posts, though I'm not sure how to access Mastadon as I don't see them show up when I search for other communities..
Edit: looks like I have to search Microblogs when I want to see Mastadon. Seems kind of confusing though, I don't think I understand how Mastodon works.

petrescatraian, Romanian @rclkrtrzckr I think it's a good thing that people are looking for alternatives. I'm sad that most of them do it just because Twitter is bad, unaware they reached a decentralized alternative and unaware of what does it mean to them. I hope some of them will try also some other decentralized alternatives as they see fit.
Very_Bad_Janet, Mastodon went from around 500 new accounts per hour to 4k per hour since Twitter has been inaccessible. I think it's a good thing.
blobcat, this bot actually counts all of fediverse, the name is misleading
Mateng, It says
User Count Bot for all known Mastodon instances
Is that not true? Does it count Lemmy and kbin users, too?
blobcat, The bot uses https://instances.social/ to get the amount of users, but it's kind of tricky since it's not actually a good source for this type of info. If you check the website, you can find some Misskey, Pleroma, etc. instances, but not most of them. I couldn't find any kbin instances there, but there were 2 lemmy instances. It also doesn't match up at all with other fediverse stats websites like fedidb and fediverse.observer
