My (self-hosted) Mastodon server seems unable to view profiles on Threads. As far as I can tell, there's nobody to talk to about that.

I don't have high hopes about Meta having good intentions here, but I am eager to see platforms that would have previously been walled gardens open up to the federated model. I do think we have some work to do on the open source side to manage the potential massive increase in exposure once Threads users can follow users of other software.

Of course you can pick a server that blocks Threads if you just don't want to deal with that.
