The fediverse is an open global network of interconnected, but still independent, social media servers, each with its own users, content and rules. In Threads, you can turn on sharing to the fediverse to see posts from those other servers \u2013 and have your own posts shared on those servers for others to see. For more information on what the fediverse is and how it works, see our fediverse explainer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our new search feature and dedicated fediverse feed help you discover more perspectives from people outside of Threads. You don\u2019t have to miss out on anyone\u2019s posts just because they happen to post on different platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starting today, if you\u2019ve turned on sharing to the fediverse in Threads<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to see posts from federated users you follow (people who are sharing to the fediverse) that were posted originally on other apps or servers and shared to the fediverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This means if a thought leader you follow posts on Mastodon, for example, and shares it to the fediverse, you\u2019ll be able to see their post in a Threads feed made up of posts from the fediverse. This allows you to see a broader range of views, no matter where they\u2019re posted.\u00a0 Right now, servers connected to the fediverse include Mastodon, Bookwyrm, WriteFreely and more, and we hope others will join as time goes on. Content surfaced in the dedicated fediverse feed on Threads appears in reverse chronological order, with the newest posts from profiles you follow coming first.<\/p>\n

Newsletters are a good comparison. You might use newsletters as a way to catch up on news published across the internet. Similarly, with fediverse content on Threads, it\u2019s like you\u2019re curating your own personal newsletter, a feed full of notes and posts published on apps like Ghost, Flipboard and WordPress \u2013 but unlike a newsletter, you can interact with the people responsible for the content you\u2019re reading. Imagine scrolling through a feed with a roundup of your favorite voices and contributors from a range of apps all in one place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can also now search for fediverse profiles directly in Threads. For example, you can search for a WordPress blogger\u2019s federated profile and interact with their posts right in Threads. That way, you\u2019ll be able to see the many conversations happening across platforms while in Threads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To search for a federated user on Threads, just type their name in the search bar. For example, if you input \u201c@flipboard@flipboard.social and there\u2019s an exact match, the search result will show their fediverse profile with the fediverse icon.<\/p>\n

These two new features will help you find your community and exchange perspectives with others, no matter what platform they\u2019re on, leading to more vibrant conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marking One Year of the Fediverse on Threads<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to have made a great deal of progress on interoperability (the ability for servers to exchange information) over the past year, with a few major highlights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last March, we made sharing to the fediverse possible for people 18+ with public Threads profiles in the US, Japan and Canada. Then in June, we expanded globally, excluding the European Region<\/a>. Since then, we\u2019ve made it possible for you to see the people from other fediverse servers who like your posts and follow you and enabled you to follow people from other fediverse servers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To date, Threads has interacted with over 75% of all fediverse servers since launching sharing to the fediverse one year ago. .\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our goal remains to grow the fediverse responsibly, prioritizing the success of a safe community from multiple platforms and with multiple points of view. 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. We\u2019ll continue to collaborate with developers and policymakers to make progress in this space, so that as many people as possible can experience the benefits of the fediverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
