This is pathetic.

How do I know if my node is reachable? I mean, for me it works but does that also mean that it is reachable? And if no, what can I do about it?

Wild spin; did you open your firewall to let btc protocol inbound connect to your node? nb not a node runner atm, this end.

And it’s not accurate. There are more than 100k nodes worldwide.

Oh, damn!

That's great to know!

Where can we get better information on this?

(although the low number is a good kick up the ass for more people to start!)

Lukedashjr has his own way of counting. IIRC the ~20k are just the ones on clearnet. Many others are obscured being Tor, firewalls, unopen ports, etc. https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/historical.html

Great site, thank you.

Wow, Jan 2018 there were over 200k nodes!?!

Now less than half that number!!

Part of the reason for this could be attributed to spammers filling the chain with garbage and Core devs not fixing the filters.

Satoshi expected this.

My four TOR nodes are "reachable" by this definition.

Why run a node, .... to subsidize blackrock's holdings.

Opposite

Hey, two of those are mine 😁
