Meta is finally fixing how threads work on its social network Threads. Prior to this, there was no real way to know how long a thread was or even if a post was part of a longer discussion.
The company has made "several changes that display threaded posts more clearly." These include a new "view more" label that indicates a post is part of a longer thread. This is an easy way to instantly know if someone's thoughts continue past an initial post.
There's also a new design element that automatically stacks posts back-to-back when clicking into a series. Each of these posts now displays a number that shows its place in the thread, along with the total number of posts in a given thread. That sounds much easier than manually adding something like "part one of 12" to each post. These tools are rolling out soon for both mobile and web users.
The platform recently reached the significant milestone of 400 million active monthly users. Meta has been busy adding new features to accommodate the growing audience, like the ability to attach lengthy text documents of up to 10,000 characters.
