Instagram, Jul 06, 2023

So I created an account on Meta's Threads (so you don't have to). You have to install it as a mobile app, even though posts do appear on a web site. You have to log on with your Instagram account (I had to actually create one just for this purpose). It's not available in  Europe (where Meta is running into even more legal challenges). It's the most basic bare-bones version of an ActivityPub you can imagine. No hashtags, but it does include quote-tweets. I made two posts. You can see them in the image. The first, which is located here https://www.threads.net/t/CuW2yCjO_84/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== is "not available.The second, which is located here https://www.threads.net/t/CuW3GX-uG-o/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D is available. You can refer to 'Mastodon', you can link to mastodon.social, but references to (eg) @Downes (ie., downes@mastodon.social) fail.
