Interesting. Can’t tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don’t just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It’s still showing that way for me.
Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we’ll see what happens I guess 🤷
Instagram has long maintained a login wall, so I’m not surprised to see one on Threads. That means they hate the open web, not necessarily federation.
I do assume bad faith when it comes to Meta, and I suspect their middling, slow implementation of ActivityPub here is mostly intended to discourage antitrust actions against them.
Because their link is different, it’s https://www.threads.net/fediverse_profile/georgetakei@universeodon.com

It’s clickable for me, however on some accounts mentions render as plain text, idk why, is this one clickable for you?

True, you’re right, we’ll see, they still say that the “Fediverse sharing” is in beta so things can change
