Fediverse update thread 🔔🧵

For those of you who don't know, @Threads is being built on the ActivityPub protocol, which means that it will be interoperable with other apps/servers like Mastodon over time. This week we took a small, but important, step by allowing people in the Fediverse, who don't use Threads or even have an Instagram account, to follow my Threads account as well as a few others. Content is starting to flow from Threads to the Fediverse.

All hail our new king! #coronation

@tallship @admin @chris I haven't, but that's not really the point - Takahe is supposed to be Mastodon compatible, and they wanted reports of things not working with third party apps.

@admin The list of users boosting or favouriting a post doesn't work on #Tusky - just shows "an error occurred"

@admin Correct link: ://takahe.social/@chris@wyrms.de/
I posted that originally using #Tusky but it appeared to have lost the end of it?

@admin #Bookwyrm #ActivityPub doesn't quite seem to be working here. I finished reading and wrote a review. I can see the "finished reading" post ://takahe.social/@chris@wyrms.de/ but not the review. It federated to my Mastodon account correctly. @bookwyrm

@admin @chris I know there's a setting for ignore duplicate boosts, but I'd expect it to still show up in the user's list of posts, even if it gets filtered out of the home timeline.

@chris @admin See screenshot - boosted post didn't federate

That last boost doesn't appear to have federated - can't see it on my Mastodon account which follows this one.

I'm in looking for a handful of people to test out a pre-alpha #Android #Mastodon app. Please DM me if you are active at giving feedback and not afraid of partially completed apps.

The app will be open sourced in the future.

Here are some teaser screenshots. #meowstodon

@chris @admin Ah, I think this is because the account favouriting doesn't have a "real name".

@jph And even chatting to admin, the server might be interested but nobody else will be!

@admin I thought this was a Tusky bug, but looks like it happens on the web interface too - my favourite notifications aren't telling me who favourited the post.

Brief test reveals that that is exactly what it means! I can see that being potentially useful.

If I post "local only" does that mean nobody outside this server will see it?
