It's possible that someone from lemmy.world found one of the Threads accounts they were using for testing, but they're not testing it anymore (or have maybe changed the requirements)

If you do:
curl https://threads.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected] | jq .

you get:

{
  "subject": "acct:[email protected]",
  "links": [
    {
      "href": "https://www.threads.net/ap/users/mosseri/",
      "rel": "self",
      "type": "application/activity+json"
    }
  ]
}

but if you do:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' https://www.threads.net/ap/users/mosseri/ | jq .
you get:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Not found"
}

This is what happens when lemmy searches for something remote, so it errors with The webfinger object did not contain any link to an activitypub item if you try from there.
