OK this is quite neat.

OK this is quite neat. I'd prefer it if my primary Mastodon account could be "properly seen" i.e. followed and mentioned on Threads, but this is another step along. Interoperability! Who would have thought it...
-
FWIW I have an account on Threads (@[email protected]) but I don't use it very heavily. Still, if you *want* to collect all of my social profiles, you are very welcome to follow it from other Fediverse places, now.

Does that mean mastodon ans threads are fully connected now? -
@andypiper
Would you say it is worth getting an account there? I don't know if I can bother with yet another place -
@System32 @[email protected] no not yet - you can now choose to expose a Threads account to the fediverse, and then posts in reply to them can be seen inside of Threads. You cannot follow non-Threads users from there yet.
-
@edross if you don't feel a need to be there, then no; and hopefully if they follow through with a fully-interoperable ActivityPub implementation, you can stay here and folks from there can follow you directly (if that is a thing you may want to happen).
-
@edross I think the identity piece is something that we need to think more about in terms of the Fediverse in general. I'm racking up a fair few profiles across all the various services
-
@andypiper the ability to have ONE identity across the Fediverse would be my top feature request
-
@[email protected] That's what I've been working on recently. Started with an identity aggregator a year or two ago that would let you collect content from all your different fediverse channels and republish them from one account.
Now I'm working on nomadic identity -- which will let you use the same identity on any supporting fediverse service and clone/copy content (and friends/followers) to different services and instances as desired. We've had this at a project level for 12 years but had to use a separate protocol until ActivityPub matured enough to support it.
Still might need the aggregator until at least a few more projects support nomadic identity, but I know of 3-4 projects that have it working at a basic level today.
Cheers.
