Mastodon operates as three distinct interconnected components: First, Mastodon the free and open-source project—a global top 1% FOSS project on GitHub with over 1,000 contributors, representing cutting-edge social networking technology. Second, the Mastodon social network—software installed on 10,000 individual servers with 1 million monthly active users. Mastodon gGmbH, our German non-profit, operates the largest server (mastodon.social) with approximately 300,000 monthly active users. Third, as part of the broader ActivityPub-powered Fediverse.
