Exciting update for those of you following our fediverse journey β starting today, you can follow people from other fediverse servers who have interacted with federated users or posts on Threads. You can see their posts by navigating to their profile, and you can also choose to be notified when they post on their server. More interop features are on the way, stay tuned ππΌ
Check out nostr:npub1hf5f02dgqtu4wcs49pcxpzgpjx4mhclp7eyw683ag9ssepe4afgq8kwz3g demo some of our most recent work on supporting the ActivityPub protocol, which will allow people to follow Threads accounts from other apps (without needing the Threads app or an account) and down the road, people on Threads to follow people from those other apps.
Threads Update ππ§΅
Weβve started a limited test of a heavily requested feature: the ability to save posts on Threads. Bookmark your favorite posts and revisit them later, just like you can on Instagram.

Fediverse update thread ππ§΅
For those of you who don't know, @Threads is being built on the ActivityPub protocol, which means that it will be interoperable with other apps/servers like Mastodon over time. This week we took a small, but important, step by allowing people in the Fediverse, who don't use Threads or even have an Instagram account, to follow my Threads account as well as a few others. Content is starting to flow from Threads to the Fediverse.
Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub β weβre committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.
anybody have a referral code for Beeper Cloud??
Two important Threads updates ππ
First, Threads is expanding to more countries across Europe, so people there can follow and join the conversations they care about. Weβre starting to roll out in more countries now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store; www.threads.net is live everywhere now.
