There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.
I’m a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.
What are you using now? I’m using Connect for Lemmy and it feels very close to Sync because of gestures. I’ll be torn when Sync comes out because I’m enjoying this so much. (And Connect is Canadian like me. Haha)
I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!
You know… It’s seeing this type of stuff I’m so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.
This reminds me, I need to go see if Lemmy has a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community yet.
I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Could be the novelty of everything, but I’m liking it more than Reddit. And like I’ve seen many here say, I tend to respond and have conversations here more often.
Plus, Connect for Lemmy is very nice on my Android phone. I was waiting for Sync of Lemmy to arrive, but I’m not so sure I’ll switch.
Considering here in Winnipeg, Canada, where it reaches -35C or even colder, it was pretty wild having weeks on end of +30C to even +39C temperatures, and so soon into our summer.
I never want to complain about the heat when we have snow for 7 months, but that was ridiculous.
