The Twtxt/Yarn community is larger than you think. As the founder of Yarn.social[1] (which itself uses the Twtxt spec and extensions[2]) and operator of the "flagship" instance twtxt.net[3] I often interact with around ~70 folks (_not including news feeds_).

- cfiggers 2y agoRespectfully, 70 folks is not larger than I thought.
- prologic 2y agoYeah sure, but as I said the community is actually much larger. It is also very hard to measure because Twtxt/Yarn is what I call, "truly decentralised". However you are right, the search engine/crawler puts the active feeds at around ~1000 or so. So orders of magnitude smaller than any "big tech" social ecosystem, but that's kind of the appeal really.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoMan I remember when I had 70 friends on Myspace, that was an incredible amount of interaction in the day
