On Friday, two days after Threads finally started publicly testing ActivityPub integration, Instagram head Adam Mosseri shared a thread on Threads detailing the company’s plans for its continued integration with the fediverse.
Right now, it’s possible to follow a few Threads accounts (including Mosseri’s) from other platforms, but Meta has much bigger plans for Threads interoperability that Mosseri says will take “the better part of a year” to realize.
Mosseri says the updates will roll out “in stages,” and he recognizes that the “better part of a year” timeline is a long one.
“That’s a lot longer than I, or anybody on the team, wants, but it’s the reality given all the other work we need to be balance,” he says.
I’ve watched a Threads video from Mosseri on Mastodon, that rules!
Update December 15th, 5:57PM ET: Added screenshots of Mosseri’s thread.
