[Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/about) (the largest federated network built on ActivityPub) has 2699 nodes and 2.6M users as of 5/2020 (Mastodon home page asserts 4.4M, a bit more than what the-federation.info stats provide; maybe some servers are not counted)

[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) is compatible but running different software, also talking the ActivityPub protocol. According to stats at [the-federation.info](the-federation.info), Pleroma has 620 nodes with 35K users as of 5/2020 Users on Mastodon and Pleroma can communicate.
