Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.

    Note: You can’t interact with Threads accounts from Lemmy, but you can interact with Threads accounts from MBin (and maybe PieFed), except if your instance is defederated from them obviously

    There’s POTUS account for example @[email protected]

    I don’t like this rebranding to “open social web” like it was made for them.

      Something that is open and free was, by definition, made for everyone. Even the robber barons you hate.

    Fediverse is not super far from original internet idea with the exception of convenient block feature. Let’s hope that’s enough to prevent the sequel.

    I don’t think i’ve ever seen a Threads message in any of my Lemmy / Mastodon feeds. Perhaps I’m not mixing in the right circles?

    Great.
    I joined the Fediverse to escape Facebook’s toxic interpretation of communities, so Facebook is coming to the Fediverse instead.
    Just great…

      You should just join an instance that blocks threads.net. Fortunately there are many of such instances. Your current instance doesn’t seem to defederate any other instance, which is kind of suspect on its own.

        SDF is a very hands-off instance. I’ve seen many trolls in bad actors on there. It also has some management issues since it can go down for long periods of time.

        The only reason I have an account there and the only reason I would encourage anyone to use it is because it’s run by the SDF foundation and it will probably be around forever. Well at least as long SDF itself.

      Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.

    Currently, Threads users can like the replies from other servers, but they can’t yet reply to them, as the feature is still in beta and under development.

      It took around a year for a solo dev (and a couple contributors) to develop a fully federated platform. Why is it taking one of the largest companies on the planet this long to make such tiny changes that are useless anyway.

      And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?

        It is a different level of scale, mastodon has about 1 million users spread over a bunch of instances. Threads has over 200 million users on one instance. also due to the network nature of social media the amount of connections and messages sent through those connections can scale exponentially with the amount of users.

    I don’t want to see commercial content. I also don’t want others to see it because it will pollute the culture of the Fediverse.
