The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta's new Threads app. Here's why I probably won't (for now).

(Federation between plume and my lemmy instance doesn't work correctly at the moment, otherwise I would have made this a proper crosspost)

Threads is not a Lemmy instance, but it is implementing the ActivityPub protocol and thus will be able to federate with Lemmy instances, Mastodon servers, presumably kbin, Friendica, GNU Social, etc.

Has meta given any indication that they want to federate with other instances?

Yes. They're coding ActivityPub into threads.
