  • Threads will mainstream threads.
    Any good content here will be available to the Threads users, who will be oblivious to where it is coming from.
    Eventually, Meta will take steps to break compatability, and lots of the most prolific contributors from here will move to Threads exclusively (for a host of valid reasons).
    When it is no longer in Meta interest to federate, they will stop.

    The fediverse will continue, but it will be weakened by it’s temporary reliance on Threads (who could afford to host large images/videos/etc, have lower latency, etc etc).




  • Absolutely possible.
    The key to simple self hosting is to have a dns record that points to your externally accessible IP, whether that be your real one or an external one hosted at a VPN provider.
    If that IP changes, you’ll need to update it dynamically.

    It’s becoming increasibly common to be a requirement to do so as CGNat becomes more widespread.

    One of the newer ways to do that is with a Cloudflare Tunnel, which whilst technically is only for web traffic, they ignore low throughput usage for other things like SSH.
