So far, I’m not liking how Threads posts render on my Akkoma server.

Too much of it is no text – just a big ginormous paperclip.

And what is that paperclip? Well, when I click on it, it opens up a new tab to reveal… a screenshot of a Tweet.

All of this could be bloody avoided if Threads people put the contents of the tweet in their posts. Or even better, if Threads actually rendered these pictures in the post and put in alt-text as well.

I’d tell these Threads people how bad these posts look on the Fediverse, but none of them can see my replies. Thanks, @zuck!

(Also, if the link to the post doesn’t show up, don’t blame me. Blame Threads. You don’t need to click it anyway since I’m providing a screenshot of what I’m seeing.)

@atomicpoet @zuck @fediversenews replies are coming, but this image thing looks totally broken, will forward this onto the team

Hi, also I don't know if it is a Mastodon or @apps bug, but unfortunately my current instance blocks Thread, and when I click on the Zuck link in the app, it opens @ethanz profile instead of [email protected] or telling there is an error...
@atomicpoet
@valeryan24 I think that might be a bug in you app, due to threads being blocked, that @ should appear unlinked; I'm guessing when your app tries to link it's doing a search for the missing mention and finding the other profile and using it's link instead of leaving the @ unlinked.
