miskThreads takes an important baby step toward true fediverse integration
m_fI don’t see how anything has changed. I don’t use threads, but this URL doesn’t work:
www.threads.net/@[email protected]
And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:
FitikBecause their link is different, it's https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/[email protected]
Interesting. Can’t tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don’t just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It’s still showing that way for me.
It's clickable for me, however on some accounts mentions render as plain text, idk why, is this one clickable for you?

To celebrate the launch, here's 5 fediverse profiles you can follow from Threads today! @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we’ll see what happens I guess 🤷
True, you're right, we'll see, they still say that the "Fediverse sharing" is in beta so things can change
ZakInstagram has long maintained a login wall, so I’m not surprised to see one on Threads. That means they hate the open web, not necessarily federation.
I do assume bad faith when it comes to Meta, and I suspect their middling, slow implementation of ActivityPub here is mostly intended to discourage antitrust actions against them.
Not sure if it would be different with an account.
