As Instagram\u2019s new Twitter rival Threads soars into the double-digit millions<\/a> after launching on Wednesday, another Twitter alternative, Bluesky<\/a>, has hit a milestone of its own. According to new analysis from app store intelligence provider data.ai<\/a>, Bluesky has now topped a million downloads across iOS and Android, despite remaining an invite-only app.<\/p>\n

Of course, this metric pales compared with the numbers Threads is putting out as an app that\u2019s tied into Instagram\u2019s<\/a> social graph. And it\u2019s far from catching up to Twitter itself, which added another 72 million first-time installs while Bluesky was working toward its first million. That\u2019s an average of 518,000 new downloads per day for Twitter, data.ai notes. By comparison, Bluesky only sees 8,300 first-time installs per day, on average.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s still solid growth for an app where invites remain scarce<\/a> and, sometimes, unusable \u2014 the company even temporarily paused sign-ups<\/a> during the first weekend in July after Twitter\u2019s decision to limit the number of readable tweets<\/a> drove new demand for Twitter alternatives. The Bluesky team was worried the record-high traffic would result in performance issues as it wasn\u2019t yet ready for such a large influx of new users, they explained at the time.<\/p>\n

In fact, data.ai reports that the move by Twitter allowed Bluesky to hit its new milestone, as an estimated 300,000 new Bluesky installs were registered since June 30.<\/p>\n

The U.S. accounts for the largest number of Bluesky installs, or 40%. That\u2019s followed by Brazil (9.5%), Japan (8.5%), Thailand (7.5%) and the United Kingdom (4.6%).<\/p>\n

In total, it\u2019s taken Bluesky roughly four months to hit the \u201c1 million+\u201d downloads milestone. But it\u2019s likely the app would have seen a faster rate of adoption had it fully opened up to the public. The team\u2019s decision to keep its app private may ultimately hurt its potential success now that Threads is out and promising to integrate with ActivityPub \u2014 the protocol powering the open source, decentralized social network Mastodon, another popular Twitter alternative. Bluesky, meanwhile, is developing its own<\/a> decentralized social networking protocol, the AT Protocol.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s already faced moderation challenges,<\/a> Bluesky can\u2019t be counted out yet. The company this week announced $8 million in seed funding<\/a> and its first paid service, custom domains, as it looks outside the traditional ad-supported market to find a means of monetization.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
