Have a question about Threads and the fediverse? We’re inviting a couple of experts in to help demystify things 👀 Reply with your questions — we’ll brb.
I was surprised to see Automattic release a Threads API plugin for WordPress, since they're one of the big implementers on the Fediverse. Does Flipboard do something similar?

When should third-party developers use Fediverse protocols to share with Threads audiences, and when should they use the Threads API?
So far we're only using ActivityPub to communicate with Threads but I can see how using the API could help augment things. For example, determining if a given account is verified would require using the API.
Hmm. Thanks for the idea! 💡
