For what it's worth, there's 1.7bn posts on Bluesky according to this: https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

The dictionary site has only checked 4,920,000 posts, which is 0.28% of all messages.



It now claims to have checked 11 million posts but only seen "the" 16 thousand times. I'm not sure its numbers are entirely reliable.


It's likely that the commenter has read less than 5 million posts worth of text though. So perhaps this still points to a lack of diversity in content.


You got me wondering. Supposing the average post is 10 words, and a typical page of text is 250 words, that would only be ~50 pages of text a day over the last 10 years. Which I don't think I manage, but over 20 years I am probably in that window.
