What are usual numbers on Facebook and Instagram? These numbers sound extremely high. Is the app being heavily talked about in your circles?

Instagram has 2 billion active users. So only 1.5% of users have activated Threads.

These numbers aren't extremely high, we just don't realize the scale of the world outside our little fedi-bubble.

IG has 1.2B accounts. So it makes sense they would have millions of Threads accounts created on day one. If Meta gets 1/3 of their IG account holders to create Threads accounts, they will equal Twitter in numbers. Twitter I believe has over 400M accounts.
