Threads Beta Feature Enables Fediverse Profiles
Threads Beta Feature Enables Fediverse Profiles
Meta's social microblogging platform has enabled a new, fundamentally important feature: the ability to look up and follow profiles from the network.
Meta's microblogging platform and X rival, Threads, has taken another step closer to two-way connectivity to the Fediverse.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can now follow fediverse accounts on Threads, but the accounts aren't searchable and their posts won't show in feeds
what's the point then
Fediverse users are sceptical, so for now threads uses can only find users who willingly intact with people on threads. They're taking a carefcareful approach.
I assume if threads users follow fediverse users the content makes its way to their feed as normal.

Oh wow. They're taking their sweet time.
Pretty useless then. Oh well, I'm European, and I am not aware of anyone in my network using Threads. So I can't say I care all that much.
It says “Beta Feature” after all.
I’m not tho. Wish someone would just bridge everything into one platform seamlessly and the zealots could fight it out in the background.
Strong agree. Mastodon already works so that your feed won't be filled up with shit you don't want to see.
On a personal level, I couldn't care less.
On a professional level, I want people to be able to follow me no matter which idiotic service they are using. So I'm bridging to Bluesky and I would be happy with my content being spread on Threads as well, though it doesn't seem to attract many academic users. I have no idea who that platform is for. But if they're interested in seeing my boring academic self-promotion, that's cool with me.
