Update: We are now past 140,000 users. Growth is still accelerating.
When I checked yesterday it was 91,000 users, it’s now 109,000 and counting up fast!
100,000 🎉
Stats can be found here: https://the-federation.info/platform/73 - this site has been hugged to death for the moment.

They’re coming!
Good to know! I expected that an influx of users would propel development, hopefully that momentum keeps up.
