Opaque algorithms are a funny thing.
Over on #Threads, my "Following" feed does consistently have more things in it that are interesting to me than my "For you" feed.
I've been observing this for a few weeks now, and it's consistent.
Seem the cost function might be optimizing for something other than what I like? Or is the signal not good enough because I don't "like" or such enough?

@mackuba Have they said anything about the timeframe for supporting larger nonPDSs yet? Right now it's a very narrow bridge.
@evan at least in the short term I think bridges are going to play a very important role. And bridges aren't just across protocol, #Threads connection with the fediverse is very bridge-like, with people opting-in, getting reminded that it's not the same as Threads itself, and different behavior for bridged posts. And once APIs and PDSs open up, depending on Threads' policies I wouldn't be surprised to see bridges from the ATmosphere to and from Threads.

ℹ According to the latest insight from #Apptopia, #Threads is seeing a steady rise in daily active users, and is now beating #TwiX in daily actives in the #US market
As reported by #Business Insider:
“So far in April, #Threads has averaged an estimated 28 million daily active users, so people who have opened the app at least once in a 24-hour period […] #TwiX has averaged 22 million DAUs, a usage rate that’s 21% lower than #Threads”

I think it’s really strange that #Threads updated their UI so that the buttons on each post shift around depending on if there is a counter to display next to each action.

Still no news on the date when it will also be possible to federate European @threads accounts?

My worker threadpool has unionized and is now demanding fairer CPU scheduling. What should I do?

#threads is now properly working with #convocasa - I did not do anything so must have been something in their side. Thanks @paul for debugging back then though.

Well, it's unfortunate, but I don't really have any hope that BridgyFed will work all the way through Threads....
A few threads employees interacted with me several times today. Yet, whenever I directly asked about if it was being considered, I got nothing.
So....unless I'm pleasantly surprised down the road, I'm not gonna hold out hope on that wish.😔

#bridgyfed might push #meta to speed up full federation on #threads. #bluesky

@BeAware@social.beaware.live @pcottle@cyberplace.social could swear I've seen someone say #threads is planning to not allow such things but then again that could have been just speculation although I would not be surprised.
That said, I think I might actually prefer it that way because it is another reason for people to come to this side of the fediverse instead of using Threads.

This is interesting. When you use the hashtag to identify something as a "topic" on #threads, their system removes it before pushing it to the fediverse 🤔
