stackPeekHas anybody tried using Meta's Threads yet? How is it?
I heard it's already launched, is it true?... #AskKbin
Otome-chanI went ahead and downloaded/tried it. and... I'm not a fan. First, it's mobile only. No desktop/pc/web. Already a negative. Then it forces instagram accounts, doesn't have it's own. There's literally no search feature I could find, so you're stuck looking at whatever the default feed is, or I guess who you follow? But can't find people to follow unless you search their name directly.
There's no activitypub support currently I think.
all in all I don't like it.
NepentheWord I got on the grapevine was they may not be rolling out the federation for the first month or three, which would be understandable if true. It would mean much less of a learning curve for early adopters. Don't wanna scare 'em, this place is admittedly a little mindbending at first.
But isn't it supposed to launch..uh..tomorrow? How the hell does it not have a search feature? Why are we bothering with accounts on another platform, making the move for new users theoretically even more of a pain? This sounds like it's not even done yet.
it launched today lol. but yeah. if there's search I couldn't figure it out. it only seemed to search users, not posts.
