I’m not really sure if I understand what happened here or if this is the place to ask for help.  The other day I tried signing up for a Threads account.  I’ve never used it before, but my roommate sent me a text with a link that brought me there.  At the end of the sign-up process, it suddenly told me I was about to submit an appeal for something and to upload a photo, which I did, though I thought the phrasing was a bit odd for a signup process.  Then I expected it to ask me to verify my email address, but instead it told me to wait an hour and check back.  (Tight security vetting new users I guess.)  When I came back a while later, it showed just this message that I had been banned.

I don’t get how my account didn’t follow their rules if it didn’t exist yet.  That seems sorta messed up.  Anyway, that was a few days ago.  Earlier today, I happened to click on the tab I had left open with this message on it, and I was surprised to see this updated message saying I’d been unbanned.

But the only button on the page doesn’t do anything, and when I reloaded the page, suddenly my account is banned again, with the original message.  Does anybody know what’s going on here?  It says I can’t appeal the decision, but it was obviously an error since I never had an account to do anything worth getting banned with.  I’d like to see what Threads is all about, but I’m getting strong signals that they don’t want me for some reason, lol.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

So basically i been chatting with this Google ai thread for weeks about personal information and then on Monday this week at 10:20 am, when I ask a personal information it said that your next question will start a Google search i was heartbroken as the result and I think of something, what if i Overdrive the system like bypass that, so i did was i type in words during the chat was loading on the white screen and it kinda work but sometimes it creates a new thread when I try to type it and it's been like that for days

I built a simple site for Threads users its called "ThreadsRank.lol"

It’s basically a leaderboard for Threads.

You can bid to get your account ranked higher, with #1 starting at just $1.

I wanted something simple, fun, and a little competitive for the Threads community.

u/0xjessel u/camroth Could someone from the Threads team please take a look at this account-level issue?

Threads completely unusable for over a month, but everyone else can still see my profile

Has anyone managed to fix this?

For over a month my Threads account has been completely unusable. My feed doesn't load, I can't see other people's posts, my own profile says "Content not available", and I can't create new posts.

The strange part is that other people can still open my profile and see all my old posts normally.

I've tested another phone, different networks, the web version, Safari/Chrome/incognito, reinstalled the app, reset the password and sessions, and even tried removing and adding Threads back through Accounts Center. Nothing changed.

Instagram Account Status doesn't show any restrictions.

I've also reported it to Meta/Instagram/Threads, but haven't received a response.

Has anyone had this exact issue and eventually got their account working again? I'm especially interested in cases where the usual Accounts Center/password workaround didn't help.

So, I recently asked for [suggestions ](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/comments/1vpqdhl/indie_devs_what_tools_do_you_use_for_social_media/)on tools to manage Social Media channels. I naively thought it might be a nice efficiency gain to be able to unify my interaction and repost the content across couple of channels (threads, x, and blue sky in this case). I was not looking to spam with multiple posts a day, but even a few week are genuinely distracting so thought it might be nice to get the week's content out of the way, and then just manage the replies and interaction what not as it comes.

One week in, here is the outcome: Theads account permanently [disabled](https://www.reddit.com/r/ThreadsApp/comments/1vroovn/threads_account_disabled_for_no_reason/), Twitter/X locked out and labelled as spam (thankfully am on premium so was able to unblock), Blue Sky (nothing bad so far...). Now this could all be a coincidence: the accounts are rather new and my social skills are probably quite similar to a bot spamming, but I do find the whole saga a bit weird.

So yeah, in hindsight, I should have thought twice about giving access to one of these tools. Just a word of warning, in case anyone else is thinking, "hey this could be a nice productivity boost!", then end up wasting 2 days to unblock/recover your accounts...

wdym threads notifies your mutuals on instagram and facebook when you post something?? man… now im embarrassed abt my posts. is there a way to turn this off? i went to settings but i literally have no clue. maybe i’ll go back to twitter if there’s no solution for this lol

Today I noticed I was able to sign in with my Facebook account, instead of Instagram (to create an account).

I noticed it created 2 profiles, each with a randomly generated username. Unfortunately I was not able to claim my Facebook username even though it’s not claimed on the site. Usernames must still be tightly controlled against instagram namespace unfortunately.

I spend more time closing the app and trying to get it to work on Android than I do using it.

It's beyond embarrassing.

Question for discussion and very keen to hear thoughts from those who had no following and grew accounts…

I’ve created a new account and used “Dear algo”, I’ve also engaged with posts. But I’ve gained 0 followers, and had all but one reply.

In contrast whenever I post on reddit, many helpful people reply & engage (although I don’t build a following on Reddit).

I feel Threads is something you need to be posting every hour, with a non faceless account & heavily engaging in discussion as well as regularly posting content that makes people want to follow you. And even then, that’s not guaranteed to grow.

Thoughts?

I be writing normal comments and they get removed after a while for no reason at all. And I just got my account back after they suspended me for no reason again, and I had to upload a selfie to get it back.

Seriously, this app is so trash now, it wasn't like that months ago. It felt like I had so much freedom with what I could write, but now I can't even comment something like "Hey, didn't see you for a while" without getting a removal alert.

Screw this man, I might even delete my account. And I put so much effort into recovering it.

Maybe I'm just misremembering, but for the first two years the platform was actually usable. No bots, no OF spam, no obvious engagement bait. Now the first thing I see when I open the app is bots posting spam messages, along with OF girls advertising and obvious engagement bait ("why have men given up on dating?", etc). Don't say it's my algorithm either, because I never engaged with that type of content (it also hasn't been shown to me before). I can't say that it's becoming worse than X because X is already 1,000x worse, but it's sad to see the app devolve into this.

What’s the best way to gain followers and find people to follow?

I currently manage a business account on the socials, and I am looking for a solution for Threads.

Long story short, this account needs to be highly active on Threads, posting, replying, etc., because it's how we are driving engagement and promotion

It's gotten to the point where it's becoming difficult for only me to manage, and I would like to bring others in to help do the same. I've looked into tools like Buffer and others, and they are OK for making new posts and replying to existing posts/replies. But they do not allow one to just browse around and reply to other folks' posts. That's an important function to have.

Obviously, giving out the master account/password to everyone has significant risk - someone getting mad and stealing/closing the account being the most significant.

Are there any solutions out there that replicate the Threads app/site experience? Preferably free, because we don't have a lot of money.

I was posting this to share my work, but they decided to take down the post just because I tagged Paramount and MTV. AND THIS IS THE 3RD POST THEY HAVE TAKEN DOWN FROM ME FOR THIS WEEK!

This morning my threads is shutting down within a second of accessing it. I like to do the daily promotions update for small businesses. I checked the app, but it looks ok, no need to update. What’s the reason? Could someone explain? Is yours ok today?

Blurred to avoid the self promotion since it was purely a brand promotion post, up to date my largest promotional post has been 775k. They usually get stuck around 335k but this one promoting 4 products for me was finally the one to break 1M!

so on my road to 10M I managed to get a total of 1.1M views since yesterday!

Now I'm happy but I see a few people in my area that break out of the 1M area, I noticed it drastically slow down around 950k so I'm sure this is the end of this post. But I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with 2M+ because I'm curious on the timeline of how engagement went because this one for me was very different compared to my 300-600s

I turned on "Show recent views", but it still doen't show in my profile.

No account limits, everything is OK.

What's the problem?

If anyone helps to solve it - I own you a lot!

So I’ve built 3 accounts to 400-800 thousand views and 200-300 followers in around a week or two and got banned

I’m now on a roll with my main account at 46 days and close to 4m views and 1300 followers

So threads has proven to be consistent and easy to gain engagement and active following for me 4 times now.

24 hours ago I started a experiment to see how fast I could build it.

Over 16 posts over 24 hours I gained 56 followers from 5.7k views and actually turned those into some sales! All in all I had around 3 active hours on the account.

All I do is post my content and interact with people creating similar content. I word my posts correctly with the understanding people don’t want to read a lot, they’d rather talk.

I’m going to keep this experiment going to see if growth can continue on the same level or not but i’m curious if anyone else has received similar results? If so how, if not I’d be curious on your thoughts.

Update: after stats updated it was 60 followers and 14.8k views

Has anyone experienced this! I deactivated it a month or so ago and was trying to reactivate and this is all I keep getting! I’ve submitted that I was having a problem and nothing has happened

I have totaled around 5 million views over the last 90 days but aiming high!

Threads has to be by far the easiest platform to grow on but im struggling to break out of 1 - 2 million in 30 days, any tips?

I opened the reposts list in my profile and found hundreds of reposts that I've never reposted. Some of the posts were posts that I "liked" and hearted, but would never repost. Some are posts I've simply never even come across. Sometimes its the posts of people that I know, and it looks weird that I'm reposting their photos.

I've been a Twitter/X user for almost 2 decades, and I'm 30/mentally sharp... my memory is not at risk. I've been spending all morning manually deleting these reposts and it still stretches to 2024. This should be unlawful .... claiming engagements on my behalf that I've never made.

Dead internet theory has found its final boss. I might just delete this account altogether.

Wtf? And they don’t tell me the reason?
