@FinchHaven @0xjessel I'll answer since it's unlikely Jesse will (for now). Currently when users opt-in to the Federation beta, it says that replies will not be visible until later. All that said, things are moving fast so hopefully in a few weeks this will be possible!

In recent weeks some, but not all, of the information about #Threads that fired up the community here was based on rumors, guesses and speculation. Tomorrow, we'll finally learn the truth.

I completely support anyone’s decision to defederate, block or otherwise not interact with that platform. But if you do, I implore you do so because of truthful statements and reporting and not misinformation based on fear.

There was a leaked screenshot a while back that did show a feed where a post's user had a mastodon.social username visible, but since none of these screenshots show anything resembling that ActivityPub following might not be coming at launch (which some tech outlets have reported that as well).

This whole #Reddit debacle reminds me of when shopping malls started to really crack down on teens loitering and then less than a decade later most of them were fuckin dead.

@socialmedianews

The pessimist in me wants to speculate that #Reddit knows that this move is bad and is doing it anyways because natural growth just ain’t cutting it anymore. When you take the VC money you have to deliver VC returns, so unless you’re the unicorn that prints money you have to find more creative ways of generating revenue.

This is the future big tech was always headed for. We have to help people get to the fediverse ASAP!

On this subject, @paul, the former developer of third-party Twitter-client Tweetbot who pivoted to launch the Mastodon-client @ivory, posted this earlier:

"Reddit is totally pulling a Twitter.

I'd say a Reddit client is at least technically possible, unlike Twitter, but pricing would have to be around $10/month which really reduces the # of users that would be willing to pay to where it may just not be financially viable."

Reddit's new API pricing is completely unhinged. @christianselig, maker of the popular iOS Reddit client Apollo is being asked to pony up $2 million per month to keep the lights on for his app. Even if he restricted access to just his subscribers, the API cost per average user is more than he charges. Reddit promised reasonable pricing, but now it feels like a rug pull.

Can someone convince him to adapt Apollo for @LemmyDev instead?
