Meta on Tuesday gave posts from app<\/a>s or servers synced to the “fediverse” a dedicated feed at Threads, its challenge to the X platform originally known as Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fediverse allows users to stay in one platform to look at cross-platform content\u2014which means Meta gets to keep users on their product to view content posted to Mastodon or other participating platforms, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Meta also added the ability to search for profiles at platforms in the fediverse from within the Threads app.<\/p>\n

“Our new search feature and dedicated fediverse feed help you discover more perspectives from people outside of Threads,” Meta said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

“You don’t have to miss out on anyone’s posts just because they happen to post on different platforms.”<\/p>\n

Threads embraced the fediverse about a year ago, allowing users to see posts from accounts they follow at other connected platforms, such as Mastodon, Bookwyrn, WriteFreely and others.<\/p>\n

“This allows you to see a broader range of views, no matter where they’re posted,” Meta said, adding “and we hope others will join as time goes on.”<\/p>\n

Threads was among the social networks that took interest in being more open as Twitter users sought alternatives after billionaire Elon Musk bought that platform in late 2022.<\/p>\n

Meta described the fediverse as an open global network of interconnected, yet independent, social media servers, each with its own users, content and rules.<\/p>\n

Meta compared it to the way people using different email services are able to message one another because platforms conform to common protocols behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Unlike email, though, shared posts are public.<\/p>\n

“The new fediverse feed and the ability to search for fediverse users in Threads are one more step in our journey to make this social platform fully interoperable,” Meta said.<\/p>\n

“We’ll continue to collaborate with developers and policymakers to make progress in this space.”<\/p>\n
