There are so many accounts by the #news media on #Threads, that could but do not yet federate. Doesn't make much sense to ask here for them to do that, so I posted something over there.
If you have an account and want more of the media federating, feel free to share the post:

Ghost is considering joining the Fediverse! That's right. The nonprofit company is contemplating federating Ghost over ActivityPub. Here's Ghost's survey asking users about their usage of ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon and how they expect ActivityPub functionality to work in Ghost (many of my followers here will have better insight into this than myself, so please do submit your feedback; it's a very short form and the impact could be great!):

Bluesky says: Ready to federate. Their discussion of the differences between their approach and Fedi’s is interesting.

Wow! All my Bluesky posts are backfilling now into my instance! That's cool! I'd guess this "feature" isn't available for the BlueSky side of things....🤔
If anyone notices posts on my profile from older than today, please reply to this and let me know! If you're on BlueSky, you need to follow @ap.brid.gy before you reply or I won't see it here. (This post is federating to BlueSky through a Fediverse-BlueSky bridge)

“ActivityPub is a lot like email, and Ghost already supports email subscriptions. This means we can use the same interface to support both.”
@… is doing the exact right thing here with “merging” the email and Fediverse subscription experience. Probably from first principles — which I very much agree with — because almost nobody else does. Kudos!

#ActivityPub is doing the same for social technology. It’s a protocol that allows people across different platforms to follow, like and reply to one another. No algorithms. No lock-in. No bullshit.

Interesting, search for "threads.net" and see how federating for threads has started.

OK, não era o objetivo deles, mas via https://fedipact.veganism.social/ arranjei uma listinha de fedicoisas portuguesas (ou pelo menos com endereços em .pt):

I can't wait to *not* be effected AT ALL by whatever Meta decides to do with Threads Federation...
It just won't effect me or the way I use Fedi one bit.
Let them adopt Fedi features and then turn off federation....who cares? It'll be their loss...🤷‍♂️I'll federate till they give me a reason not to. And when they do, it won't bother nor effect me in any way.
That's the beauty of Fedi. Them federating or not changes nothing about how I use Fedi.

I’m experimenting with Federating replies from Mastodon directly into my blog post page itself, displayed as old-school comments underneath the post, and…I kind of like it?

Forums federating with one another is pretty neat!

There’s a lot of discussion around federating with Bluesky recently. I’m not informed enough to have an opinion on the particular issue, but I do have a general comment to make:
* Is this technically possible?
* Is this legal?
* Is this ethical?
Are always three distinct questions. Don’t fool yourself by conflating them.
As Jeff Goldblum said: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should”

Ahead of when @… start federating all public magazines here's my occasionally updated magazine “Scientific Research Publishing” on Flipboard

On federating with Threads:
I’m interested in getting updates from POTUS. I’m following Joe Biden.
It is annoying that I cannot have a conversation with people on threads yet.
I consider anything I post here as public since it is already getting federated to servers I don’t control.

I think I missed that (Feb. 22):
"Today, we’re excited to announce that the Bluesky network is federating and opening up in a way that allows you to host your own data. What does this mean?"

Was curious how Fedipact was doing. https://fedipact.veganism.social/
of the servers that have threads.net blocked they represent:
1.4 of 10 million accounts: 14%
200k of 1 million active accounts: 20%
over all fairly successful!

also #ATProto now has a real website and i gave it a quick glance. apparently they want to identify users by DNS names? that sounds pretty damn stupid…

Hmmm...my original posts don't seem to be federating to BlueSky, as of yet...only posts in which i'm mentioning another bridge user...
Maybe there's a kink in the system. I'm sure it'll get straightened out. First steps are always the rockiest.
Edit: Scratch that! This post is on BlueSky! Leaving this up so that it stays up there!🥳🥳🥳

For those unaware, the BlueSky-Fediverse bridge is LIVE and seems to be federating profiles who "opt-in" to BlueSky.
If you want to opt-in, you just have to follow @… and then if you have a BlueSky account, you can login and find your account by using the format @user.domain.ap.brid.gy, so mine is @BeAware.social.beaware.live.ap.brid.gy
This is SUPER exciting! Bridging open protocols is a super cool thing and I'm so happy to test out this super cool project!
Edit: more info after further investigation. Notifications from BlueSky users only work if they have activated the bridge on their side...this is less than stellar, but hopefully this changes?😳
Also, to find a BlueSky user that HAS opted into the bridge, their Bluesky account will appear in the fediverse as @[handle]@bsky.brid.gy. For example, @snarfed.bsky.social on Bluesky is bridged into the fediverse as @… (sorry for the notification, Ryan. Hope you don't get spammed😬)

PSA: Since Threads apparently will be federating replies soon, I thought I should post this again, because there's still a lot of people that don't know.
When a normal user uses "block this domain" it's LITERALLY just a MUTE. The blocked server can still see, interact, and reply to your posts, you just won't be able to see them.
It's kinda like sitting in a room with hungry bears while wearing a blindfold. If you're scared of hungry bears, your best bet is to get out of the room, not put a blindfold on. And by this, I simply mean to migrate to an instance where the blocks are up to your standard on the "instance" level.
Stay informed and make informed decisions, no matter what you choose to do with your Fediverse presence.
#Fediverse #MastoTips #FediTips #Fedi #ActivityPub #Threads #Meta

It's completely asinine that an instance I've defederated from that doesn't use "authorized fetch" (proprietary mastodon implementation) can see my posts and interact with them as if I can see them.
I'm basically giving promotions to asshats in my replies from gross instances because blocks don't work like they should...
This is why I don't see Threads federating with these platforms for very long. Every Fedi software that doesn't adopt Authorized Fetch, will be breaking their terms. There IS a few proposals on how AP could officially implement a similar feature, but as of right now, it's the wild west here.
