The new 0.19.x version allows you to export and import your basic settings like subscriptions and blocks. I personally haven't tested it though.
Otherwise, here on lemmy, activity from threads is unlikely to reach us or have too much of an impact as following lemmy communities won't work well on their end. This presumes that they'll be focused on implementing microblogging and mastodon compatibility, which are very fair presumptions IMO. Not saying that you shouldn't care ... just that there's probably much more time than you think. On top of that, Threads's implementation of federation seems to be going slowly.
Thanks for the infos
I will see how it actually turns out, and yeah I didn't expect an instant "everything turn to crap" moment, but good to know that there's an option to easily migrate if need be. Although just the idea of them having any kind of access via federation really bothers me and I somewhat doubt they won't try something to "absorb" as much people as they can into Threads, that something having many possibilities in how it could manifest.
I’m with you.
If you haven’t seen it, here’s a great write up about federating with threads that does a really good job of outlining why there’s more to this than “but I have friends and relatives on instagram” and “isn’t it good for the fediverse to be popular?” arguments: https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads
My little tldr + hot take on the article here: https://hachyderm.io/@maegul/111627736340220610
It’s by @kissane@mas.to on mastodon if you’re on there. I find myself enjoying and agreeing with just about everything they say about the fediverse and social media.
Yikes
Yep. I didn’t know that part.
And somewhat symbolically, his account is the first you can follow from mastodon. You can file him and get his posts in your feed right now. I’m on an instance that hasn’t blocked threads and I’m following him now. Creepy TBH.
Thanks for the shares, very interesting, it's much worse than I thought it turns out ahah
I'm not on masto, lemmy is enough to browse for me on a daily basis but I might check out a few things there
Now, even though it might not change much to the future of the fediverse with meta meddling, I'm definitely migrating !
Where to?
