Threads on Mastodon and the bright future of the Fediverse


This is my journey that started as an experiment to see how my Threads feed would look like on Mastodon and ended with me finding experiences that went above and beyond my expectations.

While I don't want to dive too far into the technology, which is something I will do in a future post, this basically means I can follow Threads users that opt-in to Fediverse integration through my Mastodon account. To make things cleaner, original posts, replies, and reposts are all color coded to white, yellow, and purple respectively which helps break down the complex nature of microblogging feeds. You can filter by user or by post type (single, repost, or reply), sort by various attributes, and it extracts out all the links so you can see what popular news stories were filling your timeline for that period of time.
