A demonstration video of the Fediverse function that allows simultaneous posting of Threads posts to decentralized SNS such as Mastodon will be released.



Meta's short text posting SNS 'Threads' has revealed from its release that it plans to support simultaneous posting to decentralized SNS. On March 20, 2024, Peter Cottle from the Threads development team released a demo video of the ``feature to simultaneously post posts to Threads to decentralized SNS.''

A demo video of the 'Function to simultaneously post posts to Threads to decentralized SNS' was released at ' FediForum ', an oven conference related to decentralized SNS held from March 19th to 21st, 2024. . The resolution of the demo video is very low, so the display of various buttons etc. is blurred, but you can get an overview of the functions from Mr. Kottle's verbal explanation.

According to Mr. Cottle, a new setting item called ``Fediverse sharing'' will be added to Threads. By enabling Fediverse sharing, users will be able to use the ability to simultaneously post posts to Threads to decentralized SNS. The screen below is the 'screen explaining the concept of Fediverse' that is displayed when you enable Fediverse sharing.



'Notes on enabling Fediverse sharing' will be displayed next to the Fediverse explanation screen. According to Mr. Cottle, there is currently a problem that ``If a post on Threads is posted on another decentralized SNS, even if the post is deleted from Threads, it remains on the other SNS.''



A button indicating that Fediverse sharing has been enabled will be displayed on the profile screen of a user who has enabled Fediverse sharing. When the button is clicked, 'account names on other SNS that are posting at the same time' will be displayed. Masu.



Cottle uses the post below to demonstrate an example of simultaneous posting using Fediverse sharing. First, below is a post on Threads.



And this is the post simultaneously posted to Mr. Cottle's Mastodon account. You can see that you can post the same content on two SNS.



In addition, Threads is actively working on adding functions other than 'Fediverse sharing', and on March 19, 2024, it

announced a function to display 'currently trending posts'.



Additionally, on March 20, 2024, the ability to display 'Today's Top Topics' will be available in the United States.
