    I don’t understand why people are downvoting the post. I know it’s because of Meta but still it’s just a news guys

      People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community

    The logo looks like a pube.

    Bunching up several of them together really doesn’t help.

    Yes, I’m sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.

      Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.

      Fedipact for the win! :)

    Did Threads really just crash and burn? Don’t think I’ve heard a single thing about it in months

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The Threads API is now available, meeting a promised launch by the end of June.

    The free API will allow developers to build “unique integrations” into Threads, and potentially even result in third-party apps for Meta’s competitor to what was previously known as Twitter.

    Chen says that insights into Threads posts are “one of our top requested features for the API,” so Meta is allowing developers to see the number of views, likes, replies, reposts, and quotes on Threads posts through the API.

    Meta has been testing the Threads API with a small number of developers: Grabyo, Hootsuite, Social News Desk, Sprinklr, Sprout Social, and Techmeme.

    These test integrations have allowed sites like Techmeme to automate posting to Threads, or Sprout and Hootsuite customers to feed Threads posts into the social media management platform.

    We’re now waiting to see if developers will be able to easily build a third-party Threads app with this new API that’s not connected to a social media management platform.
