Instagram figures, competitor from Meta to X, Tuesday spear Two new features in the context of its plan to integrate more into the open social web, known as Fediverse. Now, threads will be able to see publications from other users on the Fediverse in a dedicated flow if they have opted for the sharing of Fediverse on threads. In addition, people will be able to search for fediverse users directly in threads.
The articles of federated users will be found on the following tab of the Threads application. However, they do not appear online with other publications of threads users. Instead, you press a link at the top of the flow to display these messages in a separate flow.
Threads can draw articles made from federated applications such as Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Writefreely and others, with more services to be taken over over time.
In addition, Threads users will be able to search and discover the Fediverse profiles in the Threads application, including those of WordPress bloggers who have activated the sharing of Fediverse, Flipboard users and those of Mastodon, among others.
The features are designed to ensure that threads feel more like a federated application, which means an application connected to the wider network of interconnected social media servers that make up the Open social web decentralized.
Although Threads did not finish this integration, with Over 350 million Monthly active users, it is the largest application executed on the ActivityPub protocol, which feeds the Rival X mastodon and other federated applications.

Like Bluesky, Threads introduced the concept of personalized flow as well as its version of the start -up packsTo help users find people to follow. And as mastodon, threads are more directly linked to fediverse, allowing people to connect with others who are not directly on the wires.
Since its inception, Threads has introduced features that allow its users to oppose Share their messages on the fediverse,, See the answers on their messages of those on mastodon, Follow user profiles on other Fediverse servers, and See who follows them in return.
In June, the threads extended the Fediverse’s sharing functionality to the EU after previous launches in the United States, Canada and Japan. Meta says that Threads has interacted with more than 75% of all Fediverse servers since the launch of the Fediverse sharing function a year ago.
However, the company has not yet provided an update at the moment when it is entirely integrated into the Fediverse, or when it Introduce accountability of the account. This would allow threads to move their account elsewhere if they decided Meta policies to their liking. It is a key aspect for open and decentralized applications, because it puts control in the hands of users instead of platforms.
