Here’s everything we know about it so far:
- It will use ActivityPub.
- It will be a side app of Instagram.
- It will most likely be called Threads.
- Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
- There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won’t transfer over automatically).
What do you think?
Actually, maybe! If it really is ActivityPub compliant.
It 100% is. They talk to someone on @mastodon.social in the screenshots. :)
That might just be a mock up. Probably still fair to say that it’s most likely planned at the moment.
Edit: in fact one of the accounts shown on the screenshots never was in a conversation like that.
