The Threads app will now be able to show replies and likes from Mastodon and other services in the fediverse.

Don’t shoot the messenger!

    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 every month 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

      Yes. Has been for a while. But only if Threads 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.

    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.
