has had a nice little uptick in sign-ups and activity from after a facebook post recommending it as an alternative to facebook and Instagram for Taiwanese users went viral on facebook, bringing in about 20K new users over the span of two days to mastodon.social, g0v.social, m.cmx.im and a few more.

@Gargron Is it thru, that some german communities switched to Mastodon? I read aboit it somewhere. Thanx alot.

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 08:53:08

@Gargron Welcome to the new Taiwanese users!

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 08:54:35

@Gargron one thing about the that I really appreciate is, that it's a place where individual cultures can build spaces suitable for their individual needs. Instead of trying to fit into a framework given by a US corporation.

@Gargron 台灣的朋友來了~

Hi , I'm Taiwanese coming to say hello 🤗

@Gargron federation is important.. It is important to have as many servers as possible..

everyone moving on to mastodon.social is not a good thing IMO..

is there some support for mastodon server admins provided by mastodon ?

I would like to start a server for my malayali community actually

And I am pretty sure there would be a lot of people who wana do the same for their community but are limited due to money

@Gargron Great news. g0v in general is a dope project for citizen involvement in bringing transparency to the government

@gargron 歡迎您,親愛的台灣人!

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 09:23:53

@Gargron Are you able to spin up instances fast enough for a large influx? And are you able to cope with the extra costs? Sounds tricky.

@elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social

(Almost) Everyone could run own instances... using one of the several existing softwares or create an own one. That's the magic of open protocols.

@Gargron@mastodon.social

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 10:10:10

@nick Sure, but I doubt those 20k Taiwanese users are spinning up their own instances.

Also, the protocol doesn't really scale all that well to large numbers of small instances. Julia Evans has some good notes on that if you're interested: jvns.ca/blog/2023/08/11/some-n

@elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social

New users doesn't need to set up their own instances, but also doesn't need to signup on the same instance.

Regarding your link: Mostly not related to , but the current implementation. And some of the mentioned things are already worked on.

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 13:59:08

@nick I feel like you're missing the point of my original toot. I was expressing my concern over the sudden influx of large numbers of users, the consequences for the Mastodon instances, and the finances of Mastodon gGmbH.

The fact that some users could run their own instances, and that they don't need to, are entirely orthogonal to my original concern.

@elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social

Maybe.

I didn't assume, that just mastodon.social and mastodon.online took the new users.

Checked now my statistics... and yes, there is a peak in the last two figures for mastodon.social.

See
https://www.mastodonien.de/instanz/mastodon.social
https://www.mastodonien.de/instanz/mastodon.online

mastodon.social close to 2,7 mio, mastodon.online close to 190k users.

@Gargron Hello. I'm also new here. I'm just curious : Can we share the post and comment on it like a re-tweet?

@Gargron well hey. That’s encouraging! I really love mastodon and pray that it catches on with more folks.

@Gargron cool. Are these statistics public?

@Gargron Taiwanese here, I joined since 2023, although I didn't understand much about mastodon when I joined Vivaldi.social simply because installed the web browser and it recommended their instance.

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 16:38:43

@gargron Slightly OT: When starts version 4.4? I'm evicted to withdraw quotes of my post that have been misused.

Föderation EN Do 17.04.2025 17:25:32

@Gargron servers should have a mandatory maximum limit of users, so no one server becomes too big too fail.
