And so far, I like it a whole lot! I swear, Reddit's entire UI has become so crappy! As long as the site maintainers keep doing a good job, I'll be coming here now!

Dozens?

The fediverse is currently sitting at 27 000 servers. And that's before you include other federated platforms like matrix that don't use ActivityPub.

Some of those are single user instance, of course, but even that illustrates how the network wont be running out of nodes any time soon, as people are joining it by setting up servers entirely on their own terms.
