I wonder how much of the "were working to support ActivityPub" story is real (mentioned at the end of the article). I've got a few people I'd like to follow on Threads from my mastodon account, but I have the feeling this will never be generally possible. It feels like something that will always be a low priority until finally a product owner decides that it can just be removed from the backlog.

Word through the grapevine on Masto is they went looking for instances to federate with and pay them and people wouldn't partner up with Meta on principle.

recently shipped and it'll be complete when you can follow fedi accounts from Threads but my feeling is it will be much more restricted in that direction: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse/ https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/thr...

They already have some preliminary support. You can follow Obama, for example, on Mastodon since his account posts on Threads
