    I never understood why people prefer threads over Mastodon or Lemmy. Their app bundle size is so much smaller. 250mb for an app that does similar to what Mastodon and Lemmy is doing is ridiculous

      People like self-promotion and the chance of getting millions of views for your latest post. The Fediverse is like a nerdy book club in comparison (which is why I’m here).

            Confirmed, unless they have done it in the past few days, not yet. TechCrunch quoted the head of Instagram as saying that they haven’t implemented ActivityPub yet. There was no specific reason why not, and no timeline for adding that functionality. I think we have at least a few months, since there are a lot of other missing features that should be higher on the to-do list.
