Threads is enabling more of their fediverse support today. To be clear, you can follow Threads accounts from Mastodon or Micro.blog, but you can’t follow those external platforms from within Threads. According to Meta’s blog post, getting outside content into Threads is an “in the future” thing.

How do you follow Threads accounts from Micro.blog?

Manton Reece

@christopherchelpka Just enter the Threads handle from the Discover search in Micro.blog, like @manton.

Christopher Chelpka

I figured it out. You need to search for usernames like this: @username@threads.net

Manton Reece

@christopherchelpka Yep. I just noticed that Micro.blog collapsed my example so it wasn't clear.

Christopher Chelpka

it doesn’t seem like many people are sharing so far. The only usernames I’ve been able to find are yours and Adam Mosseri’s lol

Manton Reece

@christopherchelpka Yeah, I don't think the opt-in setting is very visible or well-understood by most users yet. Will be interesting to see if that changes.
