Threads Debuts Dedicated Fediverse Feed and Profile Search

This update deepens Threads’ interoperability by adding chronological fediverse posts alongside native search for external profiles

Overview

  • Users who opt in to fediverse sharing see a separate feed that displays posts from federated accounts in reverse chronological order
  • A built-in search function lets users find and follow fediverse profiles by entering handles such as @username@mastodon.social
  • The dedicated feed remains distinct from Threads’ Following and For You streams to address moderation and identity management
  • Compatibility spans Mastodon, Bookwyrm, WriteFreely, Flipboard and other ActivityPub services with plans to onboard more platforms
  • Since launching fediverse sharing a year ago Threads has connected with over 75% of federated servers under Meta’s goal of responsible community growth
