    I don’t want to be mean (also I’m not using threads and am using mastodon and Lemmy), but threads is multiple times more a thing than Lemmy or mastodon.

    Mastodon, for example, has around 1.8 million monthly active users right now, where threads has around 100 million monthly active users. That’s a factor of over 50x.

    Lemmy, in comparison, has 35k active users which is roughly a factor of 3000. So yeah, threads is still a thing.

      The 100M Threads users isn’t a real thing though is it? Didn’t they just auto-add everyone with an Instagram account and claim that counted?

        There were 100 million users after the first weekend, there’s certainly more now. This right here is 100 million monthly active users.

          Do we have any metrics on that number other than Zucc saying “trust me bro”? That would be ridiculously impressive if they’ve actually kept those sort of numbers!
