Anyone figure out how to follow a Threads account on Mastodon? I want to see their new Fediverse integration working for myself

@simon I don’t think it’s live yet. But once it launches, it should be as simple as @zuck@threads.net.

@simon @mosseri is the only account I could find that works. They are limiting it to a handful of accounts to test the integration.

@simon it’s only enabled for a few selected accounts like @mosseri for now. Feels like they’re testing the tech but are still thinking about the non-technical implications.

@simon As others have said ... only select accounts at the moment (senior and maybe some eng accounts it seems).Big one is @mosseri And if you're curious, posts are federating over, but everything else seems to be, and intentionally so, one-way.

@simon This looks like a very soft launch more to show they have activity on the integration by surfacing an account ( @mosseri and allegedly some others ) but the work is gated by safety and compliance work before they roll out either direction, which is good because there at least won’t be a new move going off in the fediverse.

@simon One thing I noticed on his intro video is that he mentions that "ActivityPub support will let people come to Threads and move later to other servers".For all the talk about rejecting Threads, maybe we can look at this as a chance for business and influencers to have a stepping stone out of the walled gardens? First, go to threads then create their own instance.Also, I'm really wondering what type of moat Facebook could build to avoid this.

@simon @mosseri How did you manage to follow him? If I try to search for other Threads accounts in Mastodon it doesn't find them. Does it depend on their settings in Threads?

@simon @tchambers quite a few have already mention mosseri’s handle, but in my app (mona for iOS), it opens the link in the in-app browser as if i was trying to navigate to the threads dot net website. not able to follow directly since i would need to “log in”.no huge loss and i don’t feel like i’m missing out, but i wonder is this is something that’s being worked on? i’m in no hurry, just interested in keeping up with the changes.

@raphael@mastodon.communick.com @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net I suspect that the effect in general would be the opposite. A lot of people already join mastodon.social and kid themselves that they're getting the full fedi experience, as it were

@evelyn @raphael Are they not? I'm running my own instance, and I often feel that I'm missing out on the full fedi experience compared to if I was on mastodon.social or another larger instanceThe thing where I only see replies to other posts if they are from or to someone I directly follow is still a big problem for me

@simon was this a manual or automatic post?

@impersonal Manual - nothing weird going on here, just wanted to share the account I'd found that was a Threads account which could be followed

@simon ahhh, cool. I was worried from all the chatter about Threads and The Doooom of our federated haven :)
