Threads is confusing me already. My home feed is full of people I don’t follow. I can’t tell if that’s a bug or the way it’s supposed to be.
@conlan my assumption is it's akin to seeing the local server messages on mastodon. Likely you have an instance with few people like I do so you aren't used to see a bunch of randoms but if you join a more popular server you see the tweets and hashtags of those in the local server.
@gsugambit Thanks, but I was talking about the Threads app from Meta, not Mastodon. (Mastodon is much nicer in letting me control what it shows me.)
@gsugambit Ah, I misunderstood. Sorry for the confusion. I don't think the Threads home timeline is analogous to the local Mastodon timeline though. On Threads, the place you see posts from who you follow is the same place all the extra stuff gets thrown in and mixed up. In any case, I don't like it.
