Fediverse is an open social network consisting of various servers that are connected to each other and can communicate with each other. Threads is working on supporting the protocol ' ActivityPub ' used in the Fediverse, and on March 22, 2024, it announced the 'function to simultaneously distribute posts to Threads to other SNS' and 'the ability to simultaneously distribute posts on Threads to other SNS.' Testing has begun for a function to confirm 'Yes!'.

To turn on the sharing feature on Fediverse, log in to your Threads account and tap the menu button at the top right of your account page.

Tap 'Account'.

Tap Share on Fediverse.

Scroll down to see the explanation 'What is Fediverse?'

When you have finished reading, tap 'Next'.

Tap 'Turn on sharing'.

The setting is complete when 'Share on Fediverse' is turned on.

Once setup is complete, posts to Threads will be simultaneously posted to other platforms that make up the Fediverse, such as Mastodon.

In addition, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reports, ``If you turn on sharing on Fediverse, your posts will start showing likes from partner platforms.''

Please note that this feature is in beta at the time of writing this article, so it is not possible to confirm replies or follows from other platforms, and if you delete a post on Fediverse on Threads, it may not be deleted on other platforms. That's what he said. Additionally, posts that restrict who can reply, posts that use the voting function, and reposts when the Fediverse share function is not turned on will not be visible on other platforms.

According to Meta, in the future Threads users will be able to follow other servers' SNS accounts and interact with them on Threads. Furthermore, when it becomes fully compatible with Fediverse, there are plans to integrate users who follow you on Threads with users you follow on other servers.

Please note that the beta test of the Fediverse sharing feature is only open to users 18 years of age or older who have set up a public account. Also, please note that once you turn off the sharing function, you will need to wait 30 days to enable sharing again.
