Some contents on a trial basis are now made available at the new "Threads" from Facebook/Instagram.
Threads is only a phone app now and, hopefully, a web version will follow. Including links/URLs in posts is tricky and posting done entirely from phone is also more complicated. Backtracking eventually jumps out into Instagram (a bug?) when, IMO, it should remain within Threads. #Hashtags don't work as they do in Twitter and Facebook. While #hashtags originated in computer programming, they were popularized by Twitter and Facebook; Twitter is already suing Facebook for copying many Twitter like features in Threads, so #hashtags may just have to come later on Threads. Tagging is also available.
For now, Threads is a phone app within Instagram, so the signup is also from Instagram. I had to open an Instagram account first (and I may not use it much, if at all) and then a Threads account. Setup was easy as most of the profile and personal information carried over from Facebook or Instagram. Beware that any profile changes within Threads also change similarly in Instagram. Threads cannot be deleted, but Instagram can be to delete both.
Find Yogibearbull/YBB as "at"5015109 (temporary?) on Instagram and "at"yogibearbull at Threads, or just use the search feature for "yogibearbull" or "YBB". Settings are that Profile and posts are public but the other information is private.
Edit/Add, 7/25/23. The SEARCH is only on usernames, not on topics.
There is no TOPICAL organization of content or of usernames. The main feed is somehow selected by META based on Follows and other unknown factors.
It's very hard to find usernames to FOLLOW. I basically went through my Twitter list of people I FOLLOW and tries to guess if they were on Threads yet. About half were.
Edit/Add, August/September 2023. Threads became available on the web. General search is coming too - being rolled out in phases.
