Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Tuesday that users who have connected their accounts to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, can now see who follows them and likes their posts from other fediverse servers, such as Mastodon and Pixelfed.

The company said users will now have up to 15 minutes to make changes and edits to their posts on the social network, as well.

You can tap on a post’s activity or their follower list to see the full list of followers and likes from other fediverse servers. You’ll have to click on a “fediverse followers” or “fediverse likes” section to view the lists.

The announcement comes as Threads has slowly been deepening its ties with the fediverse over the past several months after first letting users connect their accounts to the fediverse back in March.

For instance, the company started letting users see fediverse replies on other people’s posts a few weeks ago, bringing more content into Threads. It’s worth noting that users have been able to see fediverse replies on their posts since June. Although Threads users can’t respond to replies from other servers, the Meta-owned company has said the feature is under development.
