At the moment 5% of all new users in the fediverse are joining #QOTO wow!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If the @mastodonusercount bot is to believed then in the last 24 hours the entire fediverse has grown by 1,718 users, similarly we have had 84 new users join QOTO in the last 24 hours.
This means, if those numbers are accurate, that 4.8% of all new fediverse users are QOTO users. Thats very exciting.
Word of warning though. I dont know how the bot gets its numbers, or how accurate it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't actually representing the entire fediverse. I need to see if I can find a more reliable source for numbers, a metric like this might be useful, but to be useful it needs to be accurate.
Wow used count growth in #QOTO is still going up, I wonder where this surge is from. We had 74 new users 24 hours ago and of the last 24 houra its up to 99 new users per day.

Seems #QOTO is seeing a third wave of users coming in now. Back when we peaked during the indian exodus we had about 200 new users a day or more, it fell back down to 32 users a day as of 2 days ago, but now today we are back up to 79 new users a day right now! Very cool.
We have also seen a nice spike in toot count, which is good to see, especially considering all the excellent STEM content I see in my steam, loving it!
This pattern seems normal for qoto everytime we have a new wave of users to mastodon. We first get an initial wave, it settles down, then we get a second wave as users learn about the network and decide to migrate over to qoto. It is all very exciting to see.
I'm curious about how this comes about though. Is it just people learning about the network, word of mouth, or perhaps some other factor. As a Data Scientist I crave more data purely out of curiosity.
Just a reminder everyone, #QOTO is currently holding nominations for its moderator opening for the next week. Feel free to nominate yourself or others.
We will also hold a second election after this one where individuals who dont currently qualify can also run.
#QOTO just moved from the #2 spot on joinmastodon.org to the #1 spot. I believe this is calculated based on how fast an instance is growing. Seems we are not just one of the largest mastodon instances but we are also now the fastest growing one.

I think the reason #QOTO has been highlighted in the top banner at joinmastodon.org is because we are currently one of the fastest growing instances on the list.
Very cool considering we are also the largest one too.
#QOTO (A follow up of my previous #QOTO post) How cool it is when a sci-fi novel's prediction comes true? (Or almost true) One such example is a 'DYSON SPHERE' , it is an hypothetical structure that engirdles a star and absorbs its energy. /A lame analogy - An advanced civilization builds trillions of space drone with high efficiency solar panels that flies and surrounds a star. Absorbs its energy and returns every time they need to recharge / This structure was first described in a sci-fi novel 'Star Maker' (1937) written by Olaf Stapledon. Years later a young Freeman John Dyson reads this book, who later became a Theoretical physicist. One of his work includes a thought experiment that theorizes the existence of a megastructure analogous to the one in Star Maker novel. (He even published a proper research paper backing his theory) Fast forward to 2015, Kepler Space Telescope noticed unusual light fluctuations in KIC 8462852 star. This unusual light pattern from the star is unexplainable till now. None of the hypothesis seems to explain such weird behaviour. But Dyson sphere theory could. This star is famously called as 'Tabby Star'
The #QOTO#funkwhale instance experienced a some downtime lately, not sure for how long. It has recently been fixed and the service should be back up and running.
Holy criminies. The #QOTO instance has seen over a **thousand** new users this week and its only half way through the week.
What a week!
I find it interesting how the spike always appears to come as 2 seperate waves when we get spikes of new users. The first one when they pour into the fediverse, then a second spike when new users not on QOTO decide to switch to our instance. We must be doing something right :)
Hey #QOTO users. Dont forget we have a moderator election going on for the next 2 weeks. Dont forget to nominate yourself or another user in the election.
