I just quickly tried to look up the current state of Threads-Mastodon integration, and I think that this is the current state:
- Threads users have to individually opt-in to seeing Fediverse content
- Threads keeps Fediverse content in a separate feed and section of the replies
- Many Fediverse servers do not federate with Threads
- Threads and Mastodon users can search for each other
- Threads and Mastodon users can boost/like each other's posts
- Threads and Mastodon users can reply to each other's posts, but I don't think replying to replies works yet
Corrections welcome. I could have some details wrong.
I view this as something that Meta would turn off in a heartbeat if they gained a dominant position in the market, but I also think that a possible end-state for microblogging is Threads + Bluesky + Twitter + Truth Social + WordPress + Tumblr + Flipboard + various independent Mastodon and other Fediverse instances all federating with each other.
And I appreciate that so far Meta has put in the work towards seeing how that would work.
