I don't see how anything has changed. I don't use threads, but this URL doesn't work:

https://www.threads.net/@georgetakei@universeodon.com

And the post from the article just shows his account as plain text:

Because their link is different, it's https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/georgetakei@universeodon.com

Interesting. Can't tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don't just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It's still showing that way for me.

It's clickable for me, however on some accounts mentions render as plain text, idk why, is this one clickable for you?

Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we'll see what happens I guess 🤷

Here's a mastodon account, seen through Threads: https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/urda@urda.social

Thanks

True, you're right, we'll see, they still say that the "Fediverse sharing" is in beta so things can change

Instagram has long maintained a login wall, so I'm not surprised to see one on Threads. That means they hate the open web, not necessarily federation.

I do assume bad faith when it comes to Meta, and I suspect their middling, slow implementation of ActivityPub here is mostly intended to discourage antitrust actions against them.
