        @oblomov @GadgeteerZA current *active* users. “Current users” are in the range of ~5-6mln.

          @rysiek @GadgeteerZA
          Right, so it’s not just join, there’s also some “revitalization”

            @oblomov quite a lot, in fact. Consider: https://the-federation.info/

            Click the “Active users ratio” button. I find it pretty informative about what’s actually going on. Which is: a lot of people had accounts since April or before, but now they got real active.
