Meta Makes a Home on Threads for 'Fediverse' Posts
- On Tuesday, Meta introduced two new capabilities in Threads that allow users to access posts from fediverse networks through a separate section and to search for profiles across the fediverse directly within the app.
- Approximately a year ago, Threads integrated with the fediverse, enabling users to access content from interconnected platforms like Mastodon as many sought alternatives following Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in late 2022.
- Threads expanded fediverse functionality to the EU in June after launching in the US, Canada, and Japan, allowing cross-platform posts, follows, and replies.
- Meta highlighted that the addition of a search tool and a specialized fediverse feed enables users to access a wider variety of viewpoints from individuals beyond the Threads platform, marking progress toward complete interoperability.
- Since introducing fediverse sharing a year ago, Threads has connected with more than three-quarters of fediverse servers and intends to keep working alongside developers and policymakers to promote openness.
