I thought more people would be using Threads. We gain a follower or two on some days, but then we will lose three a few days later.

These social media sites have high turnover rates. We used to have over 100,000 followers on Facebook. Now we only have 87,000 followers and 91,000 likes. There are probably thousands of bots on some of these sites.

I don't know how many people find us that way. I guess any traffic we get from them is good.

Threads seems to be a flash in the pan. I haven't heard anything about it outside of here after the first few weeks of initial launch. Not meant to be a long term success like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok.

That site doesnt render right on older browsers buddy..... (Im on IE6 remember (MyIE2))

We've had a surge of followers to finally hit triple digits.

[opus]

Up to 125.

However, since there have been no updates to the page since late April I take it you no longer care.

I have no idea how it happened, but somehow our Instagram account was hacked at the end of the April. Someone from Tijuana, Mexico attempted to buy a steam iron. I didn't even know you could buy anything on there.

We were able to change the password. It worked for a few days after that. Then they locked our access. We tried to verify the account with a selfie video, but they denied it almost immediately. They don't make it very easy to even contact them. If/when we can get access back, I will start posting the links again.

I was hoping that place would put a dent in Twitter, but at this point it seems unlikely.

Sorry about the hacking. But I really needed a steam iron

I got curious about the numbers and found this…….


According to recent company announcements, Threads has 130 million monthly active users vs. 550 million accessing X (Twitter) on a monthly basis.

According to Sensor Tower data, X (Twitter) had around 349 million monthly active users vs. 85 million for Threads app in Q1 2024.


In the US alone, X (Twitter) had 27 million daily active users vs 1.6 million daily active users for Threads (as of February 2024).

Ya thats alot......

Not really a Sitcoms Online question, more of a Threads question. I figured this is the best spot around here to ask.

Are Threads posts still embedable? I’m not seeing an embed option over there anymore. If you can do it, do one here and tell me how it’s done.

[Dude111]

Yes Opus this is how you embed something from there on this site..

Enter [THREADS] the ID of the page (The last part of it which is just letters/numbers) and then enter [/THREADS]

So you would enter [threads]Cy_0O_TpjSY[/threads]

and it would display

What an idiot.... I wonder what he was trying to Iron??

Did ya cancel his order Todd??

[opus]

Okay, got it. The code is in ‘Copy link’ on the menu

[Dude111]

Yes sweetie you got it

[TJ]

I'm getting confused again. I just did a threads link and sometimes I see it embedded and sometimes I don't (post #6)

I saw it working before. It doesn't always load for some reason. Maybe embed it and include the full link as well.

I just decided to delete the embed in the book thread and sub in a screenshot. Seems safer that way.
