Threads uses can now “follow” fediverse accounts but “only if they’ve interacted with a post on Threads” and the posts “wont appear in your feeds.”
Well played, Zuck. Hilarious.
lol 😂
but yeah, it IS coming.
You think this is the last step?
Perhaps there will be an infinite number of steps, each of them getting smaller and smaller as the result asymptotically approaches whatever barely-functional sham version of federation is deemed most profitable for Meta Platforms Inc.
No thank you.
BlueSky seems like an obviously better fit. The more corporate interests are protected on and by Lemmy the less interesting it is…
…and plaves like c/News are already there to mostly protect and defend corporate interests.
What do you mean by ‘amd’? I’ve heard it s couple times but searching just gives the [email protected] sub and a few misc posts about AMD on lemmy
Part of why Lemmy can federate and why they’re so innovative is because they’re not stored in a traditional server space, instead, theyre run on old Bitcoin graphics cards . Some of which AMD 600 - 1000 series, are supposedly easier to network and run in parallel, so when I talk about AMD Lemmy, I mean using thise parts of Lemmy as a bridge, or network gateway to Threads.
oh I see. Thank you!
I don’t see how anything has changed. I don’t use threads, but this URL doesn’t work:
https://www.threads.net/@[email protected]
And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:
Because their link is different, it’s https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/[email protected]
Interesting. Can’t tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don’t just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It’s still showing that way for me.
It’s clickable for me, however on some accounts mentions render as plain text, idk why, is this one clickable for you?
Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we’ll see what happens I guess 🤷
Here’s a mastodon account, seen through Threads: https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/[email protected]
Thanks
True, you’re right, we’ll see, they still say that the “Fediverse sharing” is in beta so things can change
Instagram has long maintained a login wall, so I’m not surprised to see one on Threads. That means they hate the open web, not necessarily federation.
I do assume bad faith when it comes to Meta, and I suspect their middling, slow implementation of ActivityPub here is mostly intended to discourage antitrust actions against them.
Not sure if it would be different with an account.
hey look, threads can do something Lemmy can’t! shame it’s the only good thing they can do
The slow drip of fediverse features has been frustrating, but it feels like there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been absolutely amazing even having the level of interop we have between Mastodon <-> Threads, and it’s about to get so much better. I feel like a whole lot of people out there who think they’re getting what they need out of Bluesky (news, memes, friends, whatever) would get much the same experience if they were just using the fediverse as ActivityPub intended (aka sign up for a variety of services and wire 'em up!).
A lot of effort to be blocked by most everyone from the fediverse. I don’t want the ads or to be tracked. I also don’t need dumb ass lib takes that come from contributions to capitalist social media. I’ll get the best ones from screenshots here or mastodon tvm.
Remember: it takes two to tango. Threads might want to federate, but a lot of Fediverse instances want nothing to do with Facebook.
