Threads Update, Fediverse Edition 🧵

We’re introducing the ability for users who turn on fediverse sharing to see and like replies from people on other servers, directly in Threads. We’re also expanding the availability of the fediverse beta experience to more than 100 countries and hope to roll it out everywhere soon.

nice! one step closer to full integration. love it.

love it more if you got rid of that weird “opt in” politics stance and flipped it to be opt out. people are far more likely to take an active step to remove politics from their life than they are to “opt in”.

Can we receive posts from the Fediverse too?

@mosseri

thanks!

BeAware :fediverse:

@rfk.jr.brain.worm So, does it work now? Or nah?

BeAware :fediverse:

@wjmaggos @mosseri I guess it doesn't work just yet and still will take a bit? I'm REALLY excited for this...

RxBrad

@BeAware @rfk.jr.brain.worm I replied to my one post on Threads from here. Nothing ever showed up.

BeAware :fediverse:

@RxBrad @rfk.jr.brain.worm Within the last 9 minutes?

@BeAware @mosseri

everything between #threads and the fedi is still slow, but I checked that it works earlier.

RxBrad

@BeAware I was going off news on this from earlier today...

Threads users who have federated their accounts can now see replies from other platforms, but not reply to the replies (yet) https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/25/24185226/meta-threads-fediverse-likes-replies

vmst·io (vmst.io)

@mosseri It is still one way, isn’t it? And there’s no real interaction, right? And you still won’t be able to see my reply on Threads, right?

@rfk.jr.brain.worm

I just did a test that was successful!

BeAware :fediverse:

@RxBrad It works!!!! Let's gooo!!!!

RxBrad

@BeAware Huh. Still not seeing it on my end. Maybe replying to 3-month-old Threads posts from here doesn't work.

Damaged Notion

Now I can get bots from all corners of the globe!!!!

BeAware :fediverse:

@RxBrad Hmm...maybe not...‍️my post was seen by @rfk.jr.brain.worm though.

BeAware :fediverse:

@social @mosseri actually, replies are federated now. They can only see and "like" your post, for now. But....progress!

BeAware :fediverse:

@danwentzel1 Hi!

Yes you can!!!🥳

BeAware :fediverse:

@damagednotion As a large human model, I have to say, there's probably more bots on Threads than on the 20,000+ Fediverse instances.

BeAware :fediverse:

@jonpainterphoto it's private for some dumb reason AND if you mention multiple accounts, like you did here, the reply isn't shown to the OP (rfk.jr.brain.worm OR Mosseri, unless he has some special way to view it being the dev)
