How do you feel about meta hypothetically pressing the phase 2 button, which updates threads to have a reddit-like mode that federates and uses lemmy content as free seed content?

They could enter the reddit-like social media sector.

edit: Ok, apparently I wasn't clear enough, I'm not talking about the past, I'm talking about a full Apollo/rif app style interface being added in a hypothetical future patch to threads.

You can follow Lemmy communities from Mastadon so I would assume it will also be possible from Threads if they federate with at least one Mastodon instance.

It's not a very Reddit-like experience. I tested it on Mastodon by following a community here and it just spammed my feed with out of context replies so I unfollowed it fairly quickly.

But that experience is likely to improve? And no doubt Meta would like to kill Reddit with the same stone that kills Twitter.

Turbulent times ahead.
