Threads can now show replies from Mastodon and other fediverse apps

  I dont want any parts of Threads. But if they’re gonna federate, at least do it 100%. This half-ass, piecemeal approach where they release an itty bitty teeny weeny change is weird.

    Indicates to me the decision to do ActivityPub was bolted on very late in the project’s lifecycle, probably rushed to try to take the users flocking away from Twitter.

    Because a lot of those limitations makes zero sense.

    I’m sure it’s so they can also slowly add features of their own and slowly make their platform better

    Idk just seeing threads makes me think of EEE so thank you lemmy you have trained me well

  Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

    Yes. Has been for a while. But only if users opt into it. Of course the things Meta doesn’t actually want you to do is opt-in, and everything else is either opt-out or not an option at all.

      Which instances federate with threads? Is there a list?

      It’s opt-in because it’s a beta

  Thanks for sharing.

  How relevant is Threads? Seems like most people who still want a centralized microblogging platform moved to BlueSky

    I don’t think that Threads or BlueSky really took off. I think the majority of people who haven’t outright deleted the app are still on Twitter.

      I’m not so sure. I talked to some people who knew about threads, a couple even had accounts. These are not tech oriented people. Moreover, I quite often see memes/screenshots of bluesky posts right here.

      Make of that what you will. I have no numbers or anything, but it seems like they’re not as dead as we might think.

    BlueSky is federated also. Only using a different protocol.

      Is it really? Seems hard to find out. Anyone have a list of Bluesky servers other than the central one with open signups?
