Threads Beta Feature Enables Fediverse Profiles - We Distribute
wedistribute.org
Meta's social microblogging platform has enabled a new, fundamentally important feature: the ability to look up and follow profiles from the network.

Meta’s microblogging platform and X rival, Threads, has taken another step closer to two-way connectivity to the Fediverse.

    You can now follow fediverse accounts on Threads, but the accounts aren’t searchable and their posts won’t show in feeds

    what’s the point then

      Fediverse users are sceptical, so for now threads uses can only find users who willingly intact with people on threads. They’re taking a carefcareful approach.

      I assume if threads users follow fediverse users the content makes its way to their feed as normal.

          Oh wow. They’re taking their sweet time.

          Pretty useless then. Oh well, I’m European, and I am not aware of anyone in my network using Threads. So I can’t say I care all that much.

        I’m not tho. Wish someone would just bridge everything into one platform seamlessly and the zealots could fight it out in the background.
