I use both Threads and Mastodon. However, I realized that sometimes (public) profiles on Threads don’t show up on Mastodon and vice versa. I also realized that most comments made on Threads posts don’t show up on Mastodon – that is, if the posts appear on Mastodon at all. The same is true the other way around. Why does this happen?

    I think on threads, you have to opt-in in settings to be “part of the fediverse” and not everyone is enabled it for whatever reason.

      Oh, that’s interesting; I had no idea. I’ll go to my Threads profile and check it. I’ll edit this comment later informing whether there really is that option.

      Edit: The only option I was able to find was “Suggesting posts on other apps,” and when I clicked on it I only had two options: Instagram and Facebook – none of which are part of the Fediverse. I wasn’t able to find anything on 'Meta’s Accounts Center’ either.

        Where are you based? I think this is not available in the EU since Zuck wants to punish us for being privacy focused and threatening his exploitative business model.
