I don’t understand why people are downvoting the post. I know it’s because of Meta but still it’s just a news guys
People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community
You should see what happens when someone posts news about Windows
Only worthy news about meta is bankruptcy and jail time for their cancerous platform. The rest can be disregarded as actual news.
Why deliberately go into vendor lock-in?
you can still mine some data using the API like I did. :P
The logo looks like a pube.
Bunching up several of them together really doesn’t help.
Yes, I’m sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.
I see the Extend part of Embrace Extend Extinguish is about to start…
Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.
Fedipact for the win! :)
As long as users stay off, it will die…
fedi aint quite mainstream ready but a lo progress has been made over the last year.
fixed my reddit cravings at least.
To do:
embrace- extend
- extinguish
Did Threads really just crash and burn? Don’t think I’ve heard a single thing about it in months
I am also curious
It is a little nerd/exclusive thing and becoming like another Clubhouse, until it dies fully.
I mean since they are trynna work with activity pub, this should be redundant I think…
Trying to get it to work with ActivityPub seems like it makes Threads at all redundant…
That is because… it is…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Threads API is now available, meeting a promised launch by the end of June.
The free API will allow developers to build “unique integrations” into Threads, and potentially even result in third-party apps for Meta’s competitor to what was previously known as Twitter.
Chen says that insights into Threads posts are “one of our top requested features for the API,” so Meta is allowing developers to see the number of views, likes, replies, reposts, and quotes on Threads posts through the API.
Meta has been testing the Threads API with a small number of developers: Grabyo, Hootsuite, Social News Desk, Sprinklr, Sprout Social, and Techmeme.
These test integrations have allowed sites like Techmeme to automate posting to Threads, or Sprout and Hootsuite customers to feed Threads posts into the social media management platform.
We’re now waiting to see if developers will be able to easily build a third-party Threads app with this new API that’s not connected to a social media management platform.
