Um, yay?
You must log in or register to comment.
I much prefer the Netherlands goverment approach where they host their own Mastodon instance.
Germany too. And Threads isn’t even part of the Fediverse yet afaik anyway?
I am a bit confused by the status of that, I know Lemmy instances are already defedrating from meta so it must be part of it right?
It is but it’s only one-way federating right now. For servers that haven’t defederated, they can see threads content, but people from threads can’t see fediverse content yet. For now it’s basically just a one-way mirror
I don’t think I’ve seen any Threads content on kbin.social nor fedia.io ever. I feel if it was federating I’d see lots of it, no? Since they’re so much larger?
tl;dr: You can currently follow and see threads accounts on Kbin if your server isn’t defederated, but some threads accounts don’t show up properly yet. It’s hard to actually find the accounts without using a direct link too (ex: https://fedia.io/u/@whitehouse@threads.net). Lemmy cannot see threads content at all yet because we can only see replies and interactions with lemmy or kbin posts, which threads can’t do yet.
Long answer: For Kbin, you can on the microblogging section if you can catch one before it disappears or going directly to their account url but won’t find any on kbin/lemmy post replies until threads enables full federation (for the same reason Lemmy can’t). Here’s zuckerberg’s account on fedia https://fedia.io/u/@zuck@threads.net.
Lemmy users can’t see any users from other software unless they comment on a lemmy post directly or @tag a lemmy community, since threads can’t see our posts that means Lemmy can never see threads content until they enable full federation and someone starts interacting with us.
I tried to search some more accounts that have posted more recently but they wouldn’t show up on Fedia, just got 404
so it’s possible that Fedia de-federated from Threads shortly after federation started, or that there’s just some issues with it working properly.edit: the white house account shows up too and they posted yesterday https://fedia.io/u/@whitehouse@threads.net, so it’s not defederated it seems, just a bit buggy with showing accounts. Maybe it doesn’t sync someone’s account unless a user does something specific on kbin searching their account or something like that so that the instance doesn’t get overwhelmed, would also explain why I can only seem to load really popular accounts.
On Mastodon it starts syncing if you just search the direct url to someone’s account in the searchbox and wait a few seconds, I tried that on fedia but it didn’t seem to work. Usually lemmy and kbin initially federate by someone searching the link to or !community@instance.domain in the searchbox and waiting 5-10 seconds so I thought that would work for threads accounts too
Germany has a mastodon instance?
Really? Where?
https://social.overheid.nl/about is the official Dutch government mastodon server
I can’t because my instance blocked Threads. I guess it’s time to find a new instance.
Not because of Biden, but to me threads blocking is a positive. I hope instances won’t undo their decision.
@i_am_not_a_robot Lemmy itself does not allow you to follow people, that’s why you cannot see him (unless he posts/comments something on Lemmy).
Kbin is the closest thing to Lemmy that allows you to follow individual persons.
It should be possible to ping him to a post or comment though. (or for him to comment or post here)
For now, the integration is a minor gesture, as it’s only a one-way connection from Threads to the Fediverse.
Could someone explain what this means? It it like he can see us but we can’t see him? I didn’t know the Fediverse / ActivityPub could work like that.
It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?
Opposite way around. We can see him but he can’t see us.
The reason you can’t see him is because you’re on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they’re (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).
Ah right, thanks :)

Biden (and probably 90% of US boomer politicians) have no idea that the internet is, much less Threads.
Why would you want to??
Would have preferred an account straight on Mastodon but it’s a step forward nonetheless.
Yeah they should have run their own Mastodon server but I can understand they want to reach the Threads audience and until there’s two-way sync Threads it is.
I mean it is on Mastodon as Threads is Federated.
Most instances are defederated from Threads though.
As if I need to hear more excuses from that man.
Only if the instance you’re on is not one of those fuckers that block Threads.
i can’t and nor do i want to because my instance admin did me the blessed service of defederating threads ❤️
The capitalist part of the Fediverse, that is, obviously.
Groan. I’m on a mastodon server and a full believer in the free market. Can we not force this left/right conjecture onto server choice too, please?
He’s referring to Threads
I know. My point remains the same.
Evrything is political:

Deal with it.
uhm… why?
I’m happy with this. I think it’s good to have the presidents team being in as many places as possible to hear people
Wouldn’t it have been better to just selhost an instance? Like, they’d have more control…
Like somebody already said, this is like president@hotmail.com
Maybe we should sell a blue checkmark on that
Oh there is. So all is well! Right? (Forgot where I stole that image from. Somewhere on here, though.)
@AGuyAcrossTheInternet well, we know from the article that the first result is the official account. The second is a bird site bridge, but wtf is the third one?!?
Last elections we had in Spain, candidates would use TikTok… 😒
You have to go where the people are.
I guess they can’t help themselves
@MayonnaiseArch yep, exactly. I mean, if @EU_Commission did it, why could they not do it for Christ’s sake!!!
Or at least go for bluesky.
Bluesky uses a non-standard protocol and isn’t really federated yet.

Sounds like an advantage to me…

You do realise, a self hosted instance can federate with threads, its just an awful idea for the longevity of fedi
I was on the fence, until I heard it’s on Threads. Hard pass.
@genocide.joe@beehaw.org?
🙄
Let’s hope they chose a memorable password for the account… a very very memorable password.
