How has it been nearly two years since Threads and it still does not have features like a trending topics page or the ability to pause and play videos, raise and lower the volume of videos or watch videos in landscape on your phone? It's ridiculous.

BTW, you may already have these features in other countries, but here in Australia we do not as of writing this post.

I’ve been blocking transphobic accounts since joining Threads. Someone mentioned the Hide From Everyone feature. I did that on one reply but I forgot the username so I can block the troll person too. I can’t find where to temporarily unhide them so I can also block them. Anyone know where the unhide is?

Does anyone else have this issue, I can use the app for a day or so, then it'll end up just freezing on the opening load screen. The only thing that works is to uninstall and reinstall, but then same issue returns a day or so after. I have tried the beta and non beta version, same. Any suggestions? I'm on Android, Samsung S23 Ultra.

Apologies, I am certain there is a simple solution I am overlooking it, but:

I usually see only the first post in a lengthy multi-post on the Threads app, without the author’s follow up posts. I see comments below referencing others, and often the author’s 🧵emoji, but nothing further. Sometimes I can see a second post if I search for replies, but this never produces the third or fourth.

What am I missing, and how do I fix this?

Thank you.

I guess a question if anyone else is experiencing the same bug; every week since I stopped talking to my situationship I have received notifications saying he is on threads and like yes I get it he’s on threads! He doesn’t use the app and neither do I. Anyone else being bombarded by the same connection on threads?

When switching between threads and instagram accounts that have multiple profiles. They dont sync together.

You'd have to remember to switch in each every time. That gets annoying (please fix this issue)

Why are so many recommended accounts are from hot models and they all follow the same theme stating their age, their city and that they’re single? I don’t see this recommended on X or other social media platforms. On IG at least you know they’re trying to get OF subscribers but these Threads accounts don’t have OF on their bio links. Is Threads a popular app for singles looking or something?

Got almost 2 MM views first post. Now I would like to keep the pace, el famoso momentum before I go back to no social media.

Any tips or insights. Saludos

Hello so Threads is showing me finnish posts because i live in finland, i hate that, is there anyway i can stop it doing that?

Pre my profile for the sauce

Do I really need to go to their profile and the reply tan? Or is it just like X where you just can scroll and see what other people I follow reply to?

At X it was for me the way to discover new people to follow.

I can't seem to find the list of whom I follow. I can see activity of my follow list but I can't seem to be able to view the list. TIA for any help... :-)

If I follow a ton of random people and they follow me back, will the algorithm be confused and not recommend me to people who would enjoy my stuff anymore?

Since Threads is linked to Instagram, you can automatically follow the accounts you already follow on your IG account. But do they appear as "following request" or did all those people requested to follow me by their own hand and I been ignoring them?

Is there a way to view a private thread account without following?

Why

?

I just discovered there is repost option for your own threads, just curious what is a use case of repost and how it can help us grow?

While Threads dominated in terms of mobile downloads for the first half of November in all western markets (North America, Europe, Oceania) Bluesky managed to be ahead for the 7 - 14 last days in several of these markets, though not by much.

But the most recent data show that this wave is receding already and Threads is once again on top in these markets while still doing much, much better in huge markets like India, Indonesia and Latin America.

Some data for you to see where Threads is back on top:

NORTH AMERICA

USA, Android: Threads #1 / Bluesky #5 / X #65

Canada, iOS: Threads #4 / Bluesky #8 / X #66

EUROPE

UK, iOS : Threads #4 / Bluesky #8 / X #130

Germany, Android: Threads #6 / Bluesky #125 / X #128

Germany, iOS: Threads #3 / Bluesky #114 / X #156

France, iOS: Threads #4 / Bluesky #27 / X #145

France, Android: Threads #9 / Bluesky #16 / X #150

Italy, Android: Threads #6 / Bluesky and X out of Top 200

Italy, iOS: Threads #3 / X #190 / Bluesky #209

OCEANIA

Australia, iOS: Threads #4 / Bluesky #47 / X #126

Is it just me?

I cannot access my Threads account because I originally opened my Instagram account back in Turkey but I dont live there anymore. How can I change my region to my new country? I couldnt find an option for it

I can access my account settings for my FB, both IGs, and my Meta Horizon account all in one place, but not Threads. Is it because it’s part of Instagram, or is there something else I’m missing?

on the Android app

I can't share a post from Instagram to threads whether it's my own post from insta or someone else's. If it does share it, then the link is the only thing that shows. This happens if it's a video or an image.

Any help as to why this is?

They recently added custom feeds and it really made the experience excellent, allowing you to customize your experience and it's been a game changer for a social media that I was enjoying already particularly thanks to its more positive vibes, its character limit at 500 (compared to 280 on X and 300 on Bluesky) and a For You feed which has been very good at showing me relevant posts from people sharing the same hobbies as well as the connection with Instagram which made it so easier to share Threads posts on IG.

There's a reason why it's the most popular alternative to Twitter / X with around 300 million users : it works and people love it! As a longtime ex-user of Twitter I'm happy to call Threads my new home!

Every other post has several people complaining that Twitter and Threads are bad and we should all move to Bluesky.

Why?

Threads is not Twitter. It's actually quite wholesome in comparison and deserves a chance, even if it's owned by Meta.

The entire day on the Bluesky subreddit (yes, because I'm also there) you've been posting memes and crying about how MAGAs are brigading Bluesky, that they won't leave you alone, and now here you are, doing the exact same thing.

Hypocritical much? Practice what you preach.
