@Casey that's so awesome, congrats! I saw the fediverse experiment episode today, even more awesome that people are deciding to spring up platforms and federated places like that, experimenting and such like it was back in the old internet, now all we need is the simplicity and ease of use of web 2.0, as Cory Doctorow would put it, and he's right in that.

Also, an important metric here isn't only how many users you have, but how many instances yours federates with, which is far more important for discovering content, because focusing on your own users only sounds very similar to the number go up mentality we're trying to avoid here. I'm not sure if mastodon shows that information, but go to social does for example.
