Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta Platforms' Threads will be tested to make posts available on other social media platforms, including Mastodon, which uses the ActivityPub protocol. This move is part of Meta's plan to make Threads compatible with interoperable social networks. Mastodon, known for its decentralized structure, offers an alternative to Elon Musk's social media platform "X" (formerly Twitter). Users will have more choice and content will reach a wider audience with this interoperability. Threads, which had over 100 million sign-ups within five days of its launch, is also expanding to Europe in December.

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.
