      Still just on the first step, embrace.

      Apparently threads didn’t support federating replies (comments) on posts until this.

      And you still won’t be able to reply to the federated comments on posts, just see them.

      They are really not in a hurry to properly support federating. I honestly didn’t realize Threads’ federation support was this pathetic.

        They haven’t figured out a good way to turn the federated data into cash yet.

        Maybe they noticed that a lot of servers in the wider Fediverse had preemptively defederated from them, and decided it wasn’t worth their time.

    My (self-hosted) Mastodon server seems unable to view profiles on Threads. As far as I can tell, there’s nobody to talk to about that.

    I don’t have high hopes about Meta having good intentions here, but I am eager to see platforms that would have previously been walled gardens open up to the federated model. I do think we have some work to do on the open source side to manage the potential massive increase in exposure once Threads users can follow users of other software.

    Of course you can pick a server that blocks Threads if you just don’t want to deal with that.
