Mastodon actually has 407K+ more monthly users than it thought | TechCrunch - eviltoast

    180 users/server seems high to me, but it is probably the huge instances (such as mastodon.social) driving up the average. There are countless small instances, but users on the big servers mostly don’t notice them.
