@Gargron Yes the accounts table would be a good idea for the instance, although there are also dead accounts in there and that number would be lower after they are purged with the purge_removed_accounts rake task (what I periodically do). I'm afraid people would refrain from using this rake task, to keep the known user count higher.

@Gargron On Joinmastodon.org a rounded number would be enough. It can be updated daily and if e.g. instances.social is down, the number stays the same. The same when the number suddenly changes e.g. more than 50% up or down.
