"Mastodon was founded in 2016 by German software developer Eugen Rochko. Unlike Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or any other popular social media site, Mastodon is a nonprofit, meaning that, ideally, its goal is to benefit the public, rather than shareholders."

It's hard to count and sources disagree slightly, but your intuition is right: Lemmy has some way to go before it reaches eight million users. Some people have multiple accounts and many are inactive, but it's still a solid number.

More than 400 000 Lemmy users is not shabby either though. Along with them comes 60 000 on kbin, which is where I'm tuning in from.

A group to share articles, videos etc by media organizations on the subject of the Fediverse. Not personal blogs or such.

What would be useful: if you think the writer of an article missed something important or got something wrong, say so in the comments?
