How to cross-post your Threads posts to the fediverse

Meta's Threads has introduced a beta feature allowing users from the US, Canada, and Japan to cross-post and view likes from Mastodon and other federated social networks. Users can access this feature through the Threads mobile app or web version by navigating to the "Fediverse sharing" option in the account settings. The feature warns users about the lack of control over their posts once they enter the fediverse and highlights that replies and follows from other servers are not visible in the beta version. However, this feature paves the way for more comprehensive social networking experiences.

How Meta’s Threads could boost the rise of a new social internet

The article discusses how Meta's new microblogging platform called Threads aims to become a part of the decentralized social web by using the same standard protocol (ActivityPub) as Mastodon. By integrating with the Fediverse (a network of interconnected social media platforms), Threads can expand its user base and offer interoperability with other apps that support the protocol.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is reportedly testing a cross-posting feature that would allow users to post content on both Facebook and its messaging app, Threads. This feature, already available for cross-posting from Facebook to Instagram, aims to make it easier for content creators to share their updates on multiple platforms. The test is limited to iOS and excludes the EU.

Threads adds a bookmarking feature for saving favorite posts

Instagram's Threads app has introduced a bookmarking feature, allowing users to save posts for later reference. Similar to rival app X's functionality, Threads users can curate a collection of links and posts they want to refer back to without using a public "like" feature. The bookmarking icon has been added to the three-dot menu, and users can access their saved posts through the app's Settings. Instagram is gradually rolling out these new features to Threads users, with some complaints that not all users have access yet. Threads has around 130 million monthly active users.
