Most web apps, especially social media - get that peak and then have this huge falloff (see Threads for a particularly grisly example). Lemmy seems really good at keeping its user base.
It reminds me that I need to contribute posts more often myself. I’m think the only reason I ever go back to reddit is that it has some specialized subs we just don’t have here yet. But sometimes you have to start posting to an audience of 0 to get things going.
I have not been paying attention to threads and so I gave it a quick google. It seems that threads is doing just fine, with 130 million monthly users now.
Super, super impressive.

Where should I be looking for the grisly stats?
I’m pretty sure that 130 million monthly users was the absolute peak, which lasted for all of about 5 days.

That’s old data. Threads suffered for a month but was fine. This is more recent. 141 million MAU https://famewall.io/statistics/threads-stats/
