Instagram is also embedding Threads posts directly, with a link to open them in the app. I've gotten a few prompts while using Instagram to remind me to open Threads. However, every time I open the app it's basically a ghost town. I personally don't know anyone using it, so I just see a bunch of brand and celebrity posts. Threads feels more like a platform for brands than for regular people.

Almost everyone I know is using Bluesky now. I’ve yet to see anyone using threads.

  Must be nice to live in a bubble where Bluesky isn't gated behind a waitlist and your entire circle can move wholesale with ease.

    Access to invite codes is abundant in the furry community. Can just ask anyone you know for one.

      Network effects. Do you think Facebook would have ever taken off back in the 2000s if everyone had to get a code from a furry to join?

        From memory Facebook was gatekept behind needing to be a university student.

        From 2004-2007. It's been a public square for the vast majority of its existence.

    Waitlist is a distraction. Ask for a code from core("terminally online") Twitter users. I got mine on Nostr from someone not a furry. Perhaps you can ask around in the Fediverse.

      I've never seen a anything from Bsky cross-posted on Twitter, IG, or Reddit. I don't think it's just people like me that won't want to hunt for an invite to something I can't even preview.

        It's... Twitter pre-firehose at this moment. Lunch pics and random ideas, not an endless buzz stream. So not much to crosspost out.
