Threads is view-only without the app, so no using it on PC. Probably because they wouldn't be able to get as much data. I would never use it anyway but it's so stupid.

You can at least view threads without logging in? That's better than instagram usually forces login. Still won't use it.

And instagram is still a lot better than Twitter which just redirects you to nothing at all. Now I just wish news sites would stop linking to twitter because I can't look at any of the garbage that's been posted.

instagram usually doesn’t for just viewing profiles or posts but anything past that it’ll prompt you and there’s a big ass banner at the bottom asking you to sign in

After viewing a few posts it almost always blocks and asks me to login. For years. I just don't go on Instagram anymore as a result. Twitter and reddit, take notice

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this, but website do you go to to read Threads?

I tried going to "threads.net" but it's just a link to download the app?

You can view threads profiles by typing threads.net/@username, for example threads.net/@meta
