But.... Do we really expect Threads users to make their Mastodon-type tweets even show up on Reddit-style Lemmy?
-
They'd only show up if someone on the instance started subscribing to them, if I have understood how that all works correctly. And who would do such a silly thing?
-
And with Threads Algorithm controlling what you see, it's not even clear that subscribing would show you them. This is a much more meaningful decision for the Mastodon instances.
-
What are you on about? Thread’s algorithm only affects what you see in the threads app home page. If they federate fully/properly it’ll operate no different than mastodon does now.
-
Yes, I'm talking about what Threads users may see. It's not clear how the Threads Algorithm will evaluate and prioritize showing Mastodon toots, but even less clear how it will prioritize message-board-like Lemmy content. It may not ever show them because it's very possible it will either filter or devalue non-microblogging post types to fit with its native format. Whether or not they technically Federate is only half the question because they have the Algorithm deciding what you actually see.
-
Okay. The person you replied to was talking about subscribing to a threads user in Lemmy.

Yeah I'm not entirely unfertstanding why defederating with them should matter on Lemmy instances. Can we even view those types of posts on here? I know you can on kbin, but I didn't think that was even a functionality of Lemmy.
