Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds
- The Threads team at Meta has integrated support for fediverse and social web content.
- They have launched a new dedicated feed for fediverse posts and a search feature for fediverse users within Threads.
- If fediverse sharing is enabled in Threads, a separate feed will display posts from Mastodon, Flipboard, and other connected accounts.
- The fediverse feed is separate from the regular feed, not algorithmically ranked and not subject to moderation.
- Meta's software engineer suggests that the fediverse feed serves a different use case than the regular feed, akin to RSS readers.
- Threads automatically connects to followed accounts but now also allows searching for Mastodon and other users for content consumption.
- While fediverse content is more visible in Threads now, it is not a first-class citizen within the platform.
- Users still need to opt-in to sharing, have separate accounts, and access the dedicated feed to view fediverse content.
- The Threads team acknowledges the need for more education on the fediverse and its functionality.
- Despite the slow rollout of fediverse features, Meta remains dedicated to integrating Threads with the fediverse.
