I appreciate the Fediverse integration of threads. I follow a couple threads accounts through Mastodon and it works well (at least for passive reading, I don't know the current state of how replies/boosts/favorites federate back to threads). For example, here is author John Green's threads account viewed through mastodon.social: https://mastodon.social/@johngreenwritesbooks@threads.net https://mastodon.social/@johngreenwritesbooks@threads.net

I just quickly tried to look up the current state of Threads-Mastodon integration, and I think that this is the current state: - Threads users have to individually opt-in to seeing Fediverse content - Threads keeps Fediverse content in a separate feed and section of the replies - Many Fediverse servers do not federate with Threads - Threads and Mastodon users can search for each other - Threads and Mastodon users can boost/like each other's posts - Threads and Mastodon users can reply to each other's posts, but I don't think replying to replies works yet Corrections welcome. I could have some details wrong. I view this as something that Meta would turn off in a heartbeat if they gained a dominant position in the market, but I also think that a possible end-state for microblogging is Threads + Bluesky + Twitter + Truth Social + WordPress + Tumblr + Flipboard + various independent Mastodon and other Fediverse instances all federating with each other. And I appreciate that so far Meta has put in the work towards seeing how that would work. https://about.fb.com/news/2025/06/its-now-easier-see-more-fediverse-content-threads/ https://about.fb.com/news/2025/06/its-now-easier-see-more-fe... https://about.fb.com/news/2024/06/what-is-the-fediverse/ https://about.fb.com/news/2024/06/what-is-the-fediverse/ https://www.engadget.com/threads-can-now-show-replies-from-mastodon-and-other-fediverse-apps-224127213.html https://www.engadget.com/threads-can-now-show-replies-from-m...
