Meta Officially Changes Threads Domain Name, Adds New Web Features

Meta today announced that it is adding several new web features to the Threads social network, as well as officially relocating the website to a new domain. Threads is migrating from Threads.net to Threads.com, and Threads.com will be the new default domain name.

threads web improvements
When Threads launched in 2023, Meta did not own Threads.com, so it was located at Threads.net. Meta acquired Threads.com in September 2024, and since then, the Threads.com domain forwarded to Threads.net. Going forward, users who type Threads.net into a browser window will be forwarded to Threads.com.

To accompany the name change, Threads on the web is getting several interface updates to make browsing through posts on the social network easier.

  • When using a single column view, custom feeds will be shown on the top of the web page in the same order they appear in mobile.
  • Liked and saved posts can be accessed through the main menu icon.
  • A column can be added by clicking on the column icon on the right-hand side of the screen.
  • A Threads post can be copied as an image instead of being captured in a screenshot, which allows posts to be shared on Instagram and other social networks.
  • Clicking the "+" button at the bottom of the screen shows a pop up composer that follows your cursor as you scroll through feeds.

Meta is also testing a feature that allows users to upload the list of people they follow on other apps to Threads, starting with X.

Meta says that it plans to continue to provide updates to the Threads web experience, with more web updates coming in the near future.

I suppose some people use threads. It’ll die eventually so I see no reason to be sucked in to a Zuckerberg data mining algorithm. Hard pass.

Some tailor shop somewhere hit a massive payday...
More than likely GoDaddy just sat on it parked. I swear they’re a cartel. I have a fairly unusual last name and their quote for me to register the .com was $35,000. Mind you the .org and .net I have are like $20 a year.

Then their “broker” said “we can come down to $28,000 but that’s our final offer.”

? They’re worse than Pawn Stars.

Many people hate Facebook and Meta, yet even them don’t seem to condemn Meta for copying TikTok...
TikTok copied Vine.

None of these social networks are original.
