You Can Now Follow President Biden on the Fediverse
Joe Biden's official account is now connected to the Fediverse, thanks to Threads. We'll see if anything comes of it.
Both President Biden and the White House have enabled the Fediverse integration on Threads.
Threads? Not Mastadon? Well, that's not good enough. I'm voting uncommitted 😤 /s
For real. Dark Brandon wouldn’t do threads.
I thought he was on the femboy breeding college instance 🤔
lol no.
Doesn't seem to work.

I managed to get it to work with Mastodon and Akkoma, but haven't tried anything else.
Edit: alternatively, try doing a Webfinger lookup for

I was testing it with curl because my self-hosted Mastodon server doesn't find it.

The leading @ is incorrect for a webfinger account lookup.

Hard pass.
