@anildash also the @whitehouse official account.
And I hope this is the start of many more such accounts to come as welll as organizations considering their own official instances not just via Threads (so they can have true two way discourse) and more of a range of accounts - but if just every official federal (and hopefully state and local) government official accounts use threads to join the larger fediverse that’s a win)
Is it perfection no. But it is a win.

@Rycaut @anildash @whitehouse @tchambers can Threads accounts see comments from Mastodon yet, or is this mostly a one-way communication still?
-
@stevenray @anildash @whitehouse @tchambers I haven’t tested it but my understanding is that Threads users see some aggregated stats about Fediverse activity but I don’t think can see specific replies or boosts (they can see how many different servers interacted with a post but I don’t think they can see the replies.
However I hope this changes (and that threads users can follow fediverse accounts etc) but I have no unique knowledge if/when that will happen.
