That didn’t take long

Nice. Get ready to scale your servers, folks!

You overestimate how many people use threads. It's mostly corporate accounts that post but don't use the platform, and a bunch of bros that click ads to begin with.

Still doesn't support instance migration tho, hmm

I got out just in time, it seems.

How much longer will Bluesky survive without doing the same?

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 6 points 1 year ago

It's either ads or a paid subscription. One of the two are inevitable, because running infrastructure to support millions of users ain't free.

Meta/Facebook made a Twitter/X clone called Threads. They enabled activity pub, so that Fediverse users can be followed from Threads and vice versa.

Are there any instances that are actually federated with Threads?

It hasn’t come to Lemmy yet but when it does it appears only lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz is linked according to the fedi block list. Lemmy.world’s admin post about it seemed like they’re open to it. Both at https://slrpnk.net/comment/11960621 But no, no one’s seeing threads posts, yet.
