Instagram's text-based platform, Threads, has rolled out two significant updates aimed at improving user experience and increasing interoperability with the fediverse.
Key Updates:
Extended Edit Window
- Users now have 15 minutes to edit their posts, up from the previous limit 5 minutes.
- This change applies to all Threads posts, including those shared to the fediverse.
- For fediverse-shared posts, there will be a 15-minute delay in sharing to allow for the edit window.
Enhanced Fediverse Integration
- Users who have enabled fediverse sharing can now see followers and likes from other fediverse servers.
- This information is accessible through the post activity or follower list.
These updates reflect Threads' commitment to user feedback and its ongoing efforts to integrate with the wider fediverse ecosystem. The extended edit window addresses a common user request, providing more flexibility for content refinement.
The enhanced fediverse integration marks another step in Threads' journey towards decentralized social networking, allowing users to interact more seamlessly with followers across different platforms.
Instagram continues to encourage user feedback for further improvements to the Threads experience. Users can share their suggestions and comments directly on the platform.
