> Mastodon.social has over 150k users

What would be more interesting as a number is active users.

For example, I've got an account at mastodon.social, but last time I used it is over a month ago and before that there had been several months of inactivity.

When I last looked at my friend list and follower list on mastodon it seemed like most people treated mastodon like that.

mastodon.social has around 10,000 weekly active users (https://mastodon.social/api/v1/instance/activity). Switter is about 2x that. Other instances are bigger or smaller. Pawoo (The largest Japanese instance) has 30,000 but the French & English-speaking fediverse tends to be a little more spread out among smaller servers, so these numbers aren't exactly directly comparable.
