Burners, furries, book lovers, bots, cuties, pizza lovers — there's a place for everyone in the federated Mastodon universe.

There are over 216,000 users at the time of this writing, along with 684 instances (https://instances.mastodon.xyz/list) being tracked — up from 649 just earlier in the day.*
