Adam MosseriExciting update for those of you following our fediverse journey – starting today, you can follow people from other fediverse servers who have interacted with federated users or posts on Threads. You can see their posts by navigating to their profile, and you can also choose to be notified when they post on their server. More interop features are on the way, stay tuned 🙏🏼
Amy D@mosseri Sweet!! Can't wait to get this!!
Salvo Micciché
Eugen Rochko
Fluqzy@mosseri awesome
Tony 🐯@Gargron Okay, now can Mastodon get proper DMs soon? Bluesky is really overshadowing Mastodon with a better DM UI.
David B. Himself@txnytvng Can we stop seeing this as a competition?
@DavidBHimself Eugen is treating this as competition, so there isn't any reason to not see this as competition. As previously mentioned elsewhere, he wants Mastodon to have mainstream appeal. For that to happen, Mastodon has to start adding features with mainstream appeal. DMs are the best place to start.
I would concede if Mastodon repivoted to a niche social platform instead.
Maho 🦝🍻@DavidBHimself @txnytvng this 100%

Nick Giannak III@mosseri That's really awesome!
Afreen | Digital Marketing + IG GrowthGreat, but when I check the two followers from Fediverse in my list, I click on their profiles and they seem empty—no data or info. what does it mean?
Fabian【ファビアン】🏳️🌈@digiwealth_newera 
Could you tell us what server they're on? Do you see my info?

Jason Brooks@digiwealth_newera It works for some accounts but not others, I can see some fediverse users' posts, but not mine
Phoenix Paulina Schmid@mosseri Is there a plan to bring Fediverse sharing to the european region?
Brooks RoccoThis rocks
Rachel Lawson@mosseri nice one!
Nate Shivar@mosseri I absolutely love this. Very exciting - I like how you're going down the punch list.
Szymon Nowicki@mosseri NICE! Great to see it actually happening
Nixson SysangaWho are the top profiles the follow in the Fediverse?
iPedro@hi.nixson this is still developing because Threads is so new but I believe this will open the floodgates to Fediverse accounts that don’t want to manage a presence tied to Threads. I’m anticipating that government agencies and media will run their own instances that can be followed from apps like Threads, Mastodon, Flipboard, etc.
@hi.nixson Nobody knows. There is no algorithms on the fediverse that rates who is a top profiles. In fact, half of the fediverse is not even reachable by the other half. 
Nassem AttanBots. EVERYWHERE
No way?? It actually happened? That's so cool, I was getting worried
o6@mosseri This is fantastic news. A decentralized social media universe (the Fediverse) will prevent what happened when a billionaire took over Twitter and forced us all to find a new home. Woohoo! I’m following myself from Threads. #Threadsception
Shubhankar Srivastava@documentingmeta I know you were looking forward to this
ReRockman@mosseri Great to see active work in federating Threads!

Ozzy@[email protected] will Threads soon replicate X?

David ImelLet’s go! 🙌
𝗡𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗦 👥Not sure what the fediverse is? Hope this helps! We’re working toward integrating Threads with the fediverse and adding new features over time.
thomas@mosseri can you find and follow them without having an Instagram account / using Instagram ?
Mike PridgenNOBODY WANTS THIS
FIX INSTAGRAM

FemiI for one want this.

Dingster|丁斯特What you are talking about? Your own account is optioned for Fediverse. Literally people should want this instead of flocking to Bluesky.
Jonathan CledeWe want this! Instagram is a lost cause.
I know zero people with a Fediverse account. This platform can work if they just fix it
Moheshwar Amarnath BiswasI want this
Learn Linux with DanBluesky is not part of fediverse afaik

𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐑𝐚𝐣 | Dheeraj ThakwaniThat's a great update!

@mosseri this might be big right now(to some) and even bigger later (to a good bit of the rest).
Mark NormanYou guys are spending an outsized amount of time on these Fediverse features, which most people either don't understand or care about.
Xaq RzetelnyPeople don’t have to already understand or care about it for it to have value. It’s okay to create something new!
In the very early days of the World Wide Web, no one knew or cared what a website was. Until more and more browsers were made, a tipping point was reached, and now EVERYTHING is on the web!

Are you seriously comparing the fediverse to the literal birth of the internet as we know it?
Most Threads users don’t care about their content being shared on places like Mastodon. The engagement from those places is dismal.
How about improving search? Trending for all countries? Not deprioritizing news and politics? Improved moderation? This should be so far down the list.

Yes I am, because it’s a good analogy.
I remember being on America Online in the 90s. You could only access content within AOL. Some people had Prodigy, or Compuserve, and they were in their own separate world.
When the Web started, at first no one understood or cared about it. It was probly hard to explain to people what the point of it was.
But there WAS a point to it. There’s value in people being able to access each other’s content, regardless of the platform!

Sure, probably most users aren’t right now thinking about their content being shared to Mastodon, because it’s not the norm.
Just like how in the 90s, most AOL users weren’t thinking about sharing their content with Compuserve users or whatever. But that doesn’t mean there’s no value in it!

You sound like pro-NFTers from 3 years ago.
I understand the Fediverse. I just think it’s nothing worth getting excited about or spending considerable resources developing features around when Threads is so lacking in features that would improve our day-to-day experience here. I’m more concerned about the quality of my current Threads experience than the spread of my content onto other plate.
How about we reconvene here in 5 years to discuss how the Fediverse has revolutionized social media?

In what way am I like the NFT folks? Is it just that I’m excited about/defending a new technology? Or something in particular?
For the record, I was never excited about NFTs, I never saw the point in them, they always felt a bit scammy
And, I don’t see why the two things have to be enemies. Yes, day-to-day feature improvements are also very important. Why can’t a person be pro-that and also pro-fediverse?

In that you’re claiming something to be revolutionary (per your early days World Wide Web analogies) that doesn’t really have a clear significant upside for everyday users.
We’ve been waiting a long time for those day-to-day improvements and they should be getting prioritized.

No, it was an analogy. I wasn’t claiming it was as revolutionary as the web, just that it has value.
My point was that a thing doesn’t have to already be widely understood and wanted to have value. You can build something new that no one’s tried yet / understands, and sometimes it works. The web was an example of a time they tried something new & it worked.
Agree that Threads needs to get on some of those features, but again, I don’t see why these two goals need to be enemies
