Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
Microw@lemm.ee 6 months agoNo. Lemmy integration of ActivityPub doesnt enable that. Either Threads or Lemmy would need to change their implementation of ActivityPub in order for us to see Threads posts. Currently that’s impossible. All federation happens beneath the hood and isnt shown.

So what would federating involve, then? How would it change how lemmy.world users see lemmy.world?
Microw@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Nothing. Currently it would not be visible at all. In the backend however federating means that the Threads servers might - at some point in the future - fetch data from lemmy.world (and not display it either, only let it sit on the server).

But Meta can already do that through user accounts or through a honeypot/passive instance, correct? All public conversations are open, as are all public user profiles.

True
