I’ve gotten to the point where finding new users to follow is becoming tedious. I need a reliable and preferably fast way to view all/almost all users on wo.m. Does anyone know of a way? I’ve already tried using the Wasteof Wrapped website to find a few, but the results are incomplete and outdated when people have changed their usernames.

Ah ok, there’ll be hundreds of billions of users in that case. I thought you meant you could ask the API what users exist :P

I did the maths: there are approximately 40481240000000000000000000000000 different combinations of wasteof usernames, and on my computer it takes 1 and a half seconds to check if each one exists, so it would take around 60000000000000000000000000000000 seconds or 20000000000000000000 centuries to check them all xD

That’s infeasible then lol

we could rent a supercomputer :)

good idea 👍 that would still only be about 10000 times faster than mine though lol, meaning it would still take a million or so centuries

We could rent a few thousand supercomputers!!

at that point we’re basically DDOSing the server

We’d probably have enough money if we hadn’t wasted it all on this website lol

It would be cheaper to bribe Jeffalo into saying the usernames of every user lol
