“Tags work a little differently than hashtags do on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). When composing a Threads post, you start a tag by tapping the # symbol and then typing out your topic. But instead of being limited to just one word, you can type out a whole phrase (with spaces!) and add special characters, according to Mosseri. However, you can only make one tag per post.”
I wonder how the tags will work if they federate with ActivityPub.
I think it was probably as much to compete with Bluesky, which also says it will have federation (with its own protocol) Soontm as anything.
If Bluesky actually starts federating, I think there’s a good chance Threads will.
really love bluesky i just hold they either do both protocols or make an activitypub bridge. i think that all the alternative networks working together is the best way to prevent post twitter special network splintering

Threads, however, has explicitly promised Mastodon integration, so it won’t use a proprietary protocol.
