i know the fediverse has been pretty split and a lot of big instances (mainly microblogging and mastodon-like softwares, but some lemmy instances are defederating meta too) but what do you think?

    So my two theories are:

    • This was a rushed launch to capitalize on the latest Twitter shit show and the home timeline wasn’t done yet.
    • They didn’t want people to log into Threads and see nothing if none of their other follows have activated yet, so instead they force you to see everything so you don’t run out of content and disengage.

    Either way I’d expect to see it soon.

      Your second point is the same guess as mine. Although you might be right about rushing the app out the door. They knew Bluesky is on the horizon and Mastodon was picking up users.
