Threads readies handy explainer of Mastodon and the fediverse - LemmyWorld

When you limit replies, your thread will not be shared with your fediverse followers. Private profiles will be able to follow an interact with people on other platforms at a later date.

Extend.

Do you know what happens to protocols over time? They get extended with user facing features or they stop being used and die.

Once again, Meta got 100M users in a week, they do not need to support the fediverse. Stop acting like this is some calculation and not just them building the same basic features they have in their other platforms that users expect into their new one.

100M users in a week by turning every instagram account into a threads account; until its activated it remains a shadow account but still counts in their book.
If all instagram users counted they would have 2 billion users. I dislike Meta as much as the next guy but let’s not pretend threads isn’t ridiculously popular.
