Meta Platforms’ newest social media offering, Threads, has over 175 million monthly active users, CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed on Wednesday, two days ahead of its first anniversary.

“What a year,” said Zuckerberg in a Threads post.

In February, he had put the Threads MAU figure at more than 150 million.

The initial surge was partly because of an easy way for users of the popular platform Instagram to set up Threads profiles.

The platform recently came on the Fediverse, a group of social media sites that support the ActivityPub protocol and whose users can interact across those platforms.
