The update marks Meta’s biggest push yet to bridge Threads with the decentralized network following a year of incremental fediverse integrations.

Overview

  • Opt-in users will see a separate, reverse-chronological fediverse feed at the top of their Following tab, pulling posts from Mastodon, Flipboard and other federated platforms.
  • The new feed operates outside Threads’ algorithm and moderation rules to preserve integrity and clarity of fediverse content.
  • A built-in search function now lets users discover and follow fediverse profiles— including those on WordPress, Bookwyrm and WriteFreely—directly within the app.
  • Meta says Threads has connected with over 75% of fediverse servers since launching its sharing feature, reflecting a year of growing interoperability.
  • The company has not announced a timetable for full ActivityPub integration or account portability for Threads users.
