    How does Threads federation work compared to Mastodon? Do they have an allow list?

    Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities so I’m curious if Threads can already federate with Lemmy.

      If they can, I’ve never seen it. No Threads content in any Lemmy instance I’m aware of and no way to use the Threads app as a client for lemmy.world or any of the others.

      so far, the threads implementation is similar to the mastadon ‘microblog’ model. i suspect they could interact with the new lemmy pieces that allow that part of the protocol on lemmy systems that dont block them.

      i picked mbin so i could have access to both the lemmy content and microblog content. ive been following a few threads accounts and have no intention of blocking them.
