that connection is temporary as well. I'm guessing it's rushed because they wanted to take advantage of the twitter situation

According to Meta, they have plans to integrate ActivityPub into Threads some time soon, meaning they would be able to federate with Mastodon, Calckey, Misskey, Pleroma, Lemmy, Friendica, etc.

But hopefully that means any given lemmy instance could un-federate from it, right?

[–] ellesper 2 points 1 year ago

Yes- but it’s up to your instance admin to do that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yup, it uses same ActivityPub protocol.
