• •Meta's Threads app is making federated replies more visible.
• •A new 'fediverse replies' section will appear underneath posts that have drawn replies from Mastodon servers and other federated accounts.
• •Users need to opt-in to fediverse sharing in order to view replies from other apps.

Over the last six months, Meta has slowly begun to make good on its promise to make Threads compatible with the fediverse.

With the change, a new “fediverse replies” section will appear underneath posts that have drawn replies from Mastodon servers and other federated accounts.
