What’s the buzz on Instagram?
Threads is an innovative app developed by the Instagram team that allows users to share text updates and participate in public discussions. By logging in with your Instagram account you gain access to a platform where posts can contain up to 500 characters and contain links, photos and videos lasting up to 5 minutes. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg launched the initial version of Threads, an app designed by the Instagram team that focuses primarily on text sharing.
Whether you’re an aspiring content creator or a casual user, Threads provides a separate, live space dedicated to sharing updates and participating in public conversations. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that Threads is compatible with open and interoperable social networks because we firmly believe they can shape the future of the Internet. Instagram is a global hub where billions of people connect through photos and videos.
With Threads, our goal is to extend the core benefits of Instagram into text, creating a positive and creative environment for expressing ideas. Similar to Instagram, Threads allows you to follow and connect with friends and creators who share your interests, both within and outside the Instagram community. Additionally, you can take advantage of our existing set of security features and user controls to ensure a secure experience.
How to join an Instagram thread?
To join a topic on the Instagram app, follow these steps:
-
Open the Instagram app and tap the magnifying glass icon in the lower left corner to navigate to the Explore page.
-
In the search bar, enter the word “threads.” As you type, a small ticket emoji will appear on the far right.
-
Click the “Admit a” ticket emoji and your topic invitation will appear. The invitation will include your username, the launch date and time of Threads, a QR code, a numeric code, and a “Get Threads” button at the bottom of the screen.
-
Click on the “Get Theme” button and you will be redirected to the App Store. Please note that although Threads is listed in the App Store, it may not be available for download at this time.
-
If you don’t see the Tickets emoji in the search bar, you can access the invitation by clicking on the three lines in the upper right corner of your Instagram profile.
-
A drop-down menu will appear and you will find the “Threads” option near the top. Click it to view your invitation.
Currently, your Threads username will be the same as your Instagram username. Whether this can be changed is uncertain and users will have more clarity once the app is officially launched.

How is Threads different from Instagram?
So far, Threads has followed a familiar path. However, there is an important plan in the thread’s work. Although this is not currently the case, the goal is to make Threads compatible with ActivityPub. This special protocol enables a decentralized social network by facilitating the interconnection of social network applications using the same protocol. The ultimate goal is to enable Threads users to interact with accounts on various social media platforms.
For example, imagine someone on Mastodon wants to follow your Threads account. With this integration, you will be able to approve or deny the request directly within Threads. You can then follow their Mastodon posts in your thread feed without creating a Mastodon account. Even though this feature isn’t available yet, it will be interesting to see its development.
Threads already offers several features native to Instagram designed to help you manage the content you like to see. You control who can reply to you or mention you in posts. Additionally, you can apply word filters so that any posts containing specific words don’t appear in your feed or replies.
How to register a topic?
