When Threads blocks communication with other servers on the fediverse
Our Beta experience for sharing to the fediverse is currently only available to Threads profiles in certain areas.
When someone turns on sharing to the fediverse, users on other servers can search for and follow their Threads profile, view their Threads posts, and interact with and share their Threads content with anyone on or off another fediverse server. Learn more about Threads and the fediverse.

We want Threads users to be able to explore the fediverse, find new connections, and have meaningful conversations across this social network of interconnected servers. We also want you to feel safe and comfortable when engaging with people on other servers. In certain situations, we may add a server to our blocklist, which will block communication between that server and Threads.
Server guidelines
A server may be added to our server blocklist if it doesn’t comply with our guidelines for communicating with Threads.
We’ll block a server if it:
- Repeatedly or severely fails to meet our Community Guidelines, Instagram Terms of Use, or Threads Terms of Use, including via admins or moderators; or
- Doesn’t respect requests sent on behalf of users to delete Threads information shared to the fediverse
We’ll also block a server if it doesn’t have a:
- Sufficient privacy policy; or
- Publicly available policy to restrict access to users under the age of 13; or
- Publicly accessible feed
