The only post I found on my first Google search is from a reddit post (6 days ago) where it's said that reddit reports about 5% of its users coming from third party apps. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Irisos@lemmy.umainfo.live 4 points 3 years ago* Apollo also reported having around 1.2M users while not being a small app at all. So with 400M MAU as the lowest possible amount of users, somehow all others 3rd party apps have over 118M users between them?
