TechCrunch's @Sarahp reports on the continued growth of Mastodon.

As she notes, Mastodon had 180,000 new app installs in January compared to 11,000 new app installs in September 2022.

That's a big jump.

What she might also want to look into is how many app installs occurred during this past week: ~121,000, which looks to be outpacing January.

Part of the reason for this growth? Perhaps changes to joinmastodon.org.

Its installs are down quite a bit from November’s peak of 2.9 million monthly downloads. It still managed to gain 180,000 new installs in January — that’s 169,000 more installs than it had in September 2022. Sure, it’s not enough to topple Twitter by any means, but it’s not yet in decline. (Of course, we understand that app downloads don’t equate to active users, as Mastodon’s first-party data shows. Downloads are only a signal of user interest, but many apps never make it beyond the first launch, if they are opened at all.)

I think that's part of it, but there's also updated onboarding on iOS/Android and reopened registrations on mastodon.social
