Are you pertaining to active users or number of accounts in Steemit? From what I've read, there's only about 100,000+ active users (plus sleeping whales). Others could be spam or bot accounts.
That's far from insta's 800mil users. 799mil more then we're even.

Im quoting total accounts, not active. Steemit has over 1 million total users, I know its not Facebook level and other large social media platforms. And thats great growth even with only 60k-170k active users right now.
One year ago we had 10k active users and 100k total users.

I see...
To be honest, I'm rooting for steemit to trend someday, I hope the others have the same vision too.
