So far, only 2,800 Threads accounts have turned on Federation. Of the ones I see, they’re quite active.
I suspect the reason for the minuscule number of federated accounts is because Threads users can’t see replies from the Fediverse yet. Why would you turn on federation if you’re oblivious to interactions from the Fediverse?
Nevertheless, we’ll see what happens once communication becomes two-way.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Well, I'll enshure it's not even becoming one-way in terms of accessing my account.
Because #NSAbook / #StasiBoik's #ToS are inacceptable and I'm so close to looking up if I can place a permanent injunction and restraining order against #Facebook (or #Meta or whatever that #Snitchpot / #Honeypot is called) to ban them from ever collecting, storing, processing or handling data about me at all!

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Sure does seem to be a lot of people saying they are federating with Threads to see their families posts, given that only 3000 people are posting.
Must be people with a lot of siblings or something.

I think each instance only knows about a certain number of accounts.
There may or may not be more than 2800. Not sure where the number he gives is coming from. From his instance stats or some official report/article/skill set.
The smaller the instance, less federation, the fewer the accounts.
My instance has only discovered 801Threads accounts, increasing by 100 daily.
I'm sure the larger instances have more. I'm curious what one like Mastodon.Social has discovered.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •@Chris Trottier Threads only allows the Fediverse integration for public accounts. Why would someone get their content all in the public for something they don't know about?
Many people I know keep their profiles private on both Instagram and Threads, for obvious reasons (posting about their private life and whatnot). Switching to a public profile is a pretty high barrier of entry to the Fediverse for these people.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •If I am correct (and someone please help if not) each server can only see what i list in the attachment. Esp note:
"All accounts that at have at least one follower on your server"
So 1 million users may be federating, but you only see the ones that are followed by at least 1 user on your server.
