Comment on Meta is connecting Threads more deeply with the fediverse

I follow Biden on Threads via Mastodon. Not that I’m any huge fan of the guy, but I like to keep up with his social media presence all the same. I see value in this integration despite so many people being so aggressively opposed. The Fediverse has very few normies. I still appreciate the ability to observe their activities from a distance.

Do you have any more info on this?

I use Mastadon pretty regularly and I feel like I somewhat know how it works, yet I read the Threads FAQ on federation and I have no clue what’s going on.

But yes, the ability to subscribe to “mainstream” accounts in Threads from mastadon servers (if they allow federation with Meta) would be a good feature.

  Going entirely off memory, but the Threads user needs to manually go into their settings and turn on federation. Then your Mastodon or Lemmy server will need to not defederate with Threads. A bunch have done so preemptively out of EEE fears.

    I think you’re being overly pedantic.
