How do you feel about meta hypothetically pressing the phase 2 button, which updates threads to have a reddit-like mode that federates and uses lemmy content as free seed content?

They could enter the reddit-like social media sector.

edit: Ok, apparently I wasn't clear enough, I'm not talking about the past, I'm talking about a full Apollo/rif app style interface being added in a hypothetical future patch to threads.

I wouldn't like it. I felt like Threads wasn't going to interact much with Lemmy in the first place and it would've been a Mastodon-only problem. Extending it to have a "Reddit-like mode" will it make it significantly worse for us.

I feel the average person has no idea that we will lose this battle step by step. You guys have the right idea, but many just cant see the risk until after it happens.

You can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon so I would assume it will also be possible from Threads if they federate with at least one Mastodon instance.

It's not a very Reddit-like experience. I tested it on Mastodon by following a community here and it just spammed my feed with out of context replies so I unfollowed it fairly quickly.

But that experience is likely to improve? And no doubt Meta would like to kill Reddit with the same stone that kills Twitter.

Turbulent times ahead.

For the record, it seems threads.net is added to the instance list of lemmy.world.
