Threads expands open social web integrations with fediverse feed, user profile search

Posts from federated users will be found on the Following tab of the Threads app.

Instagram Threads, Meta’s competitor to X, on Tuesday launched two new features as part of its plan to further integrate with the open social web, known as the fediverse. Threads can pull in posts made on federated apps like Mastodon, Bookwyrm, WriteFreely, and others, with more services to be supported over time. Like Bluesky, Threads introduced the concept of custom feeds as well as its version of Starter Packs, to help users find people to follow.
