Were they ever active in the first place? I only signed up to claim my account (which I later realized was pointless since the name is reserved by your Instagram handle anyway).
I'm perfectly willing to believe usage has flatlined, and that matches my personal experience where I've opened it maybe twice since installing it, only to see posts from mostly brands, celebrities, influencers and meme pages. There was an initial surge where I got a notification every time one of my Instagram followers also followed me on Threads, but that only lasted about a week and it's been quiet since then. I suspect a lot of people were behaving similarly to me, either signing up to claim their account or opening the app when they got a notification of a new follower.
But I'm skeptical of the utility of comparing the flatline to a baseline from the first week, and of using data from Sensor Tower and Similarweb, neither of which has much insight into usage data beyond what's publicly available through metrics like app installs, reviews and maybe DNS. It's not like Meta is using any analytics frameworks other than their own.
