It looks like the fediverse is opening up. In late March, Meta’s Threads introduced a beta feature that allows users from the US, Canada, or Japan to cross-post and view likes from Mastodon and, presumably, other federated social networks.
If you’re a Threads user from one of these three countries and want to give this beta a try, it’s not difficult. You can do it from the mobile app or the web version:
- On Threads’ mobile app, tap your profile icon in the lower right corner, tap the two lines in the upper right corner, and select Account > Fediverse sharing.
- On the web version, tap the two lines in the upper right, then select Settings > the Account tab > Fediverse sharing.
