it's official, threads is entering the fediverse! we still have a long way to go, but this is our first major step towards the interoperability commitments we made at launch.

if you enabled federation, you will also see your replies to this post in the fediverse. try it out! to find the setting, go to Profile > Account settings > Fediverse sharing to opt-in

@0xjessel

So your cloned post here on Mastodon is about 12 minutes old as I type this

Will my reply propagate back over to your original Threads post?

Otherwise there is *no* "federation" -- no matter how many times you use the word

Ready?

And...

...post

@FinchHaven @0xjessel I'll answer since it's unlikely Jesse will (for now). Currently when users opt-in to the Federation beta, it says that replies will not be visible until later. All that said, things are moving fast so hopefully in a few weeks this will be possible!

@codybrom

I've been replying continually to Mosseri's cloned #Threads posts over here on #Mastodon since mid-December, so I'm well-aware of exactly how all this works

Or doesn't work

In a few weeks (or less the way things are going) it'll be time to #DomainBlock #ThreadsdotNet and clear my timeline of all this noise

@codybrom correct, that's the more difficult flow to build so that's coming later
