Instagram yarns, Meta’s competitor in x, Tuesday launched Two new features as part of his plan for further integration with open social fabric, known as Fediverse. Now the yarns that users can see posts from other users in Fediverse in a special flow if they have chosen to share the Fediverse on topics. In addition, people will be able to look for fediverse users directly on topics.
Publications by federal users will be found on the following Threads application tab. However, they do not appear according to other positions by yarn users. Instead, you will click on a link at the top of the power to see these suspension on a separate power supply.
The yarns can pull in positions made in federal applications such as Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Writefreely and others, with more services to be supported over time.
According to the yarn engineer Peter CottleUsers will see top -level posts from Fediverse in this power but They are not yet able to answer. (But they can see Fediverse answers in their own positions, but this is in a different part of the application.)
In addition, yarn users will be able to search and discover Fediverse profiles in the Threads application, including those for WordPress bloggers who have enabled Fediverse shares, Flipboard users and those in Mastodon, among others.
The features are designed to make the issues feel more like a federal application, which means it is linked to the wider network of interconnected social media servers that are the decentralized open social fabric.
Although yarns have not completed this integration, with over 350 million monthly active users, it is the largest application performed in the ActivityPub protocol, which authorizes opponent X opponent and other federal applications.
It first began in July 2023, threads to date have been inspired by traditional social networks such as X, as well as those operating in open source protocols, such as Mastodon and Bluesky. Like Bluesky, the yarns introduced the concept of custom supplies as well as the version of boot packages to help users find people to follow. And like Mastodon, the yarns are more directly connected to the fediverse, allowing people to connect with others who are not directly on topics.
From its debut, Threads introduced features that allow its users to choose to share their Fediverse posts, see answers to their positions from Mastodon, follow users’ profiles to other Fediverse servers and see who follows them in return.
In June, the yarns expanded the functionality of Fediverse to worldwide (excluding EU) after previous launches in the US, Canada and Japan. Meta says threads have interacted with over 75% of all Fediverse servers since launching Fediverse Sharing a year ago.
However, the company has not yet informed the information about when it will be fully integrated into the Fediverse, nor when it will introduce account portability. This would allow yarn users to transfer their account somewhere else, if they ever decided on Meta policies were not in accordance with their preferences. It is a key aspect for open, decentralized applications as it places control in the hands of users instead of platforms.
Correction: It was informed after the publication to indicate that the sharing of fediverse of yarns was expanded worldwide in June, but the EU was not included in this extension.
