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.
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?

Which instances federate with threads? Is there a list?
deleted by creator
mastodon.social, the “default” instance federates. If you have an account there you can see zuckerberg’s profile with this link: https://mastodon.social/@zuck@threads.net/ without an account this redirects to threads
On other federating instances just search for
@zuck@threads.net
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.
They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.
That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.
With federation, hopefully they won’t need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.
