Bluesky's surge in user growth comes after a recent controversial change in X's blocking feature, prompting many users to seek alternative social networking platforms.
Appfigures reports over 197,000 new installs for Bluesky on Thursday alone, with 80,000 of those installs from the U.S., indicating significant organic growth.
Bluesky has entered the top 10 apps in several countries, including Japan and Taiwan, where the app has reached No. 1, showcasing its global appeal.
The app's growth is noted as entirely organic, with no paid advertising, reflecting a strong user-driven demand attributed to discontent with X's recent policy changes.
