It’s gotta be the in-feed Threads carousels in Instagram, I have to give Meta credit, that’s a great way to get people into the threads app. I’m also finding more of the people I liked from Twitter on Threads now. It’s nice to have that corner of the internet back again.
- sgc 3y agoI am limping along on the last gasp of nitter until threads is big enough I can get breaking news from there. Hopefully we reach the tipping point before nitter gives out forever.
- treyd 3y agoIt's very common to see news organically shared on Fedi as well. I get a ton of Boston local news shared via users I follow on the Boston instances.

- sgc 3y agoI don't think Mastadon will ever take off without a major change in the tech, because content is way too hard to find due to the lack of centralization. I am signed up but basically never use it for this reason.

- imgabe 3y agoIt’s such brazen click grubbing, though. They’ll show most of the post except for the last few words, so you click through to see what it says. I guess it helps some PM at Meta meet their KPIs, but those clicks are not real threads users. They’re not going to open the app otherwise.
- mholm 3y agoI wouldn’t have opened the app, but I find I stay browsing around even after I view the post. Threads really does seem to be alive in the same way twitter was. I haven’t yet naturally opened threads yet, but I’ll probably hit that point soon.
