This thread (no pun intended) is the first I'm hearing that anyone uses Threads at all. To me, it seemed like after the initial week or so, there was only bots left on Threads, trying to hook people to the person's Instagram, or whatever other place they actually post content at.

Threads isn't a place where I specifically go to follow someone. To me it's more like TikTok, but text.

I open it, get a few random engagement bait posts, maybe reply to some and then close it. No meaningful discussion will happen.

Threads is the highest ranked "social" app on the Play Store right now, so a lot of real people must be using it despite appearances. Next down the list is TikTok, then Instagram, Bluesky, Facebook, X (below Bluesky!), and finally Reddit.

Also at least here in Australia, Threads is ranked #3 of all free iOS apps.

And it's been in the top 3 ever since it launched a year ago. X is #69.

I’m pretty sure app stores rankings are regional. You should mention your region and device type if you want others to compare
