I’m noticing threads is missing quite a few features #Meta #threads #fediverse #mastodon
Show threadChiefGyk3DJul 6, 2023

This is bad I’m missing the following features I’m used to from Mastodon:
1) Hashtags
2) Edit button
3) Federated Feed (ActivityPub for the fediverse)
4) more than 1 link (4 on mastodon stock)
5) verified profiles this relies on IG for verification where as Mastodon does link verification to a site I own
6) No direct messaging

It’s incredibly basic and not in a good way but I’m only there to see how I can migrate my IG following to the #fediverse eventually when it’s possible #meta #threads

@chiefgyk3d 100% rushed out the gate and will be in rapid improvement mode from here for sure. The execs and staff working on it have said as much.

@chiefgyk3d shocked they didn't integrate with Instagram DMs/Messenger considering that's the base they're using but okay \o/

@sladewatkins how’s that going to work when they federate?
Show threadSlade WatkinsJul 6, 2023

@chiefgyk3d No idea. I was just saying I was surprised they didn't do something like that. They already link off to Instagram. Seems odd to me.

Maybe it'll come when federation does?

@sladewatkins who knows but it’s definitely rushed
