Would also be nice if they start explicitly treating the threadiverse as groups. This is already doable, but some usability sweeteners would make it much more accessible. It's an absolute win-win for everyone on the fediverse.

What do you mean by groups? Are you talking about groups like how they're described in this fedi.tips article?

Exactly, thanks for sharing the link. The interaction between threadiverse platforms and mastodon (sadly for pixelfed this does not work) is exactly as it is for fedigroups.social or what used to be a.gup.pe.

Definitely, I see a lot of potential as it mitigates a bit the problems that come with federation. On the threadiverse you almost don't notice it, but on mastodon it can be quite jarring.

And if they do that they could also embed peertube videos properly, so channels ate more exposed across fedi.
