Amazing UX, thoughtfully crafted UI...much better than Twitter. 

Overall from a product standpoint, I like the ecosystem angle that Meta is creating for the social media space (like how Apple built its ecosystem).

If the content is unlike Instagram now, I think it's a great strategic move by Zuck, especially when there's so much restructuring going on at Twitter.

What are your initial thoughts?

Generalist

Hey everyone. Threads, an open and friendly public space for conversations is here. 

The people who have tried it out so far, how is it?

If you’re not yet there, get in to it and get started! Alright, looking forward to seeing you all over there on Threads.

Meta launched threads, is this now Musk vs Zuck. zuCk vs Apple already there. Would threads be hit or miss?

Have any of you used threads/ are using threads? Recently I checked it , and all I see are corporation/organisation post, not a single post by a creator. 

Why is it not gaining traction with users?

Hot take : Threads is IG Content with Twitter UI

Waiting for web app, so I can have another website to slack during work.

Senior Product Manager

Thank you for all the love and support over the last few weeks. :) 

Grapevine is just 5 weeks old and we are a very small team :)  But we are trying address feature requests as they come from you all. A few things from us: 

1. We recommend you update the app from the play/app store for the best experience 
2. As per popular demand - timestamps have now been introduced in the app  (available on latest version)
3. New (and hopefully better) algo for the popular feed has been rolled out 

Lastly, please feel free to drop in your feedback and feature requests in this post. We will try to implement everything we can.

Grapevine January 13th update

Founder

The creators mentioned that they were going to improvise it, there have been no interesting changes yet. 

Could it be that they are planning something big or it’s just momentum lost?

What’s going on with Threads?

Thing is inspite of all the negativity and toxic atmosphere there, Twitter still has genuinely good content. And it's USP was the interaction., which enabled one to reach out to others.

The alternatives like Koo, Mastodon, Threads just don't have that kind of interactivity Twitter does. Is there any better option?

What is the alternative to Twitter now? With Musk ensuring it would become an app only for paid users, it's becoming harder to be there.

1. Feed Algorithm
Going forward the Grapevine feed will only show posts from the communities you are actively subscribed to. Please subscribe and unsubscribe to the correct communities as per your interest

2. Discover More
We have fine tuned the Discover More algorithm to make it a way for you to go deep into any topic on Grapevine. So if you start reading posts w.r.t "Software Engineer Amazon Salaries" - you will get more posts on the same or similar topic 

3. Oh and yes btw, we also added markdown support so you can now write list type posts such as this one. You can do this by starting your sentences with a number or add dashes (-) before every sentence
