From what I understand, Threads will be joining the fediverse, and Bluesky is going to be federated. Will I eventually be able to access both from my Lemmy instance? I’m also still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept so I’m not even sure if I’m asking my question correctly

    Bluesky has their own proprietary “federation” tech they’ll be using, probably just with select partners. There’s no news right now that they have any plans to implement ActivityPub, which is the backbone of the Fediverse.

    Threads, on the other hand, does seem like it will implement ActivityPub soon™. At the moment twitter-like and reddit-like sites don’t federate super well, but I imagine that will change at some point, especially when kbin gets a little more stable. So the most immediate impact will be between Mastodon and Threads but we’re not far behind.

      Got it. I’m very interested to see how things develop there, but tbh I’m just waiting to see what sort of shit Meta will pull down the road
