This is the best summary I could come up with:
Threads haven’t launched a web version yet, but the app has shipped a new update to give more prominence to reposts on the social network.
Earlier this month, the company rolled out a new option on the settings page to let users look at their own liked posts.
Prior to the latest update, you could see other users’ reposts only in the algorithmic “For You” feed.
Admittedly, this update is not as drastic as when Twitter launched the Retweet function in 2009.
These are part of hooks developed by the Threads team to increase engagement, which has dwindled over time.
Nevertheless, it would have been nice to get a web version of Threads in the week when X (formerly Twitter) made TweetDeck a subscriber-only feature.
