Investing.com -- Meta (NASDAQ:META) introduced two new features on Threads that make it easier for users to see content from the fediverse, an open global network of interconnected social media servers.

Starting Tuesday, users who have turned on sharing to the fediverse will be able to view posts from federated users they follow in a dedicated feed. This new feed shows content that was originally posted on other apps or servers and shared to the fediverse.

The feed displays posts in reverse chronological order, with the newest content appearing first. Connected servers currently include Mastodon, Bookwyrm, WriteFreely, and others.

Meta also added a search feature that allows users to find fediverse profiles directly in Threads. Users can search for a federated user by typing their name in the search bar. For example, typing "@flipboard@flipboard.social" will show that user’s fediverse profile with a fediverse icon if there’s an exact match.

Meta compared the experience to curating a personal newsletter, where users can see posts from various platforms in one place while also being able to interact with the content creators.

The company explained that these features aim to help users discover more perspectives from people outside of Threads and ensure they don’t miss posts from people who use different platforms.

The fediverse is described as a network of independent social media servers, each with its own users, content, and rules. When Threads users enable sharing to the fediverse, they can see posts from these other servers and have their own posts shared on those servers for others to view.
