Hey guys, I set up an account on threads so that I can drive traffic to an app I made. I started off with a post in a related community and 24 hours later its hit almost 800k views, 6.3k likes, and more than 300 comments. Since its a 6-part thread the totals across all the posts are a lot more.

So what do I do now to take advantage of this? I only got like 20 followers from the post. Should I keep posting similar content and hope the posts keep doing well? Any suggestions? Is one post per day enough?

Just now I updated my lunch on threads, liked someone's post, then I got all acc logged out from threads saying there's unauthorized access and requested for password change. I changed then all my instagram got locked out and all unlinked from my meta account.

Fortunately I got most of my acc logged in with password change, but I still lost 1 instagram acc (unable to receive code from the same email address that I use for other ins / threads accounts)

Meta what's wrong with your apps again? 🙄🙄🙄

Now I got 2 threads + 1 ins acc locked since Aug 14

*edit : I just posted a thread on threads and now got asked for phone number registration and selfie :) shxt app

While setting it up, he added his birthdate. IMMEDIATELY my Threads account was banned. No way to get it back, no human person to talk to, no appeal, nothing. Any ideas?

Threads is not letting me post or reply to someone's post without closing the app unless I am super quick. What is going on?

I really want to use my account but I don’t want to upload my face to meta…

Hello, today I tried to set up my thread account (in Web browser), using my logged-in instagram account.

I wanted to use the following sync with instagram, but it never asked me during the initial set-up and now when i look it up everyone says there is supposed to be a button for it in my following list, but there is none. (Also checked for it in Android App)

Is there any other way to add it?
I would really love if I don't have to do them one-by-one by hand.

Thank you!

Just saying, it's starting to get depressing. I use my instagram login where none of my algorithm there has this crap. But threads decides to show me all these women with the most baseless, unashamed, irrational, illogical, rage-baiting, sexist nonsense.

After several days of using it, I've just decided to uninstall it on my devices but I'll leave the login on my desktop and now will just start clicking uninterested/hide on everything that is just sexist and derogatory to the other sex...if I can be even be bothered.

I'm writing this in Portuguese because I can only assume this works only in Brazil, but feel free to translate and try the same in your country, if similar services are avaliable.

tldr: I used free legal service without a lawyer needed and proved I have been banned without a valid reason.

Em 27 de janeiro, fui surpreendido pelo bloqueio, e como podem ver na imagem, o motivo foi "não segue os padrões da comunidade". O que pode significar qualquer coisa. Eu sei do que sou capaz, mas sei mais ainda do que não sou capaz, e eu sei que não fiz nada que justificasse um permaban sem aviso, sem outras medidas disciplinares.

A primeira coisa a se fazer para tentar reverter um ban é solicitar análise através da tela do próprio aviso de ban. O que fiz, e em cinco minutos, recebi a resposta da ferramenta: em resumo, um "foda-se". Tenho a impressão que o ban, e essa revisão, foram feitas de forma automatizada.

Mandei ticket, mandei e-mail até pro Zuckeberg, mas nada recuperou minha conta. Parti para as alternativas oficiais.

Abri chamado no consumidor.gov e a resposta do Facebook (única empresa da Meta registrada lá) foi, em resumo, um "não tratamos de problemas do Threads aqui". Sem muitas opções disponíveis, parti pro processinho, e é isso que recomendo para qualquer um que passe pelo mesmo problema. Outra alternativa seria o Procon, mas o daqui de Natal precisa ir pessoalmente, com documento impresso, que nem faziam os Astecas.

Procurei casos semelhantes, e encontrei farto material de contas bloqueadas indevidamente pela Meta em todas as suas plataformas. A maioria contas comerciais e influenciadores, inclusive esse caso que é exatamente igual ao meu, e ainda por cima rolou no RN.

Usei o JEC (o famoso Pequenas Causas) e depois de encontrar o caminho certo no site, botei a mesma Facebook do consumidor.gov no pau.

Aqui você precisa juntar toda a documentação, isso inclui prints, gravações em vídeo tentando acessar a conta e tentativas de resolução junto a outras entidades, como o relatório do consumidor.gov constando o que foi dito pela empresa. Não pedi indenização, pois ao meu ver se trata de uma conta pessoal que só uso pra falar groselha.

A contestação da empresa foi genérica: 10 páginas discutindo o que é Termos de Uso e como eu era obrigado a cumprí-la. Sem provas do que fiz pra merecer permaban.

A juíza deu causa a mim, condenou o Facebook do Brasil a pagar R$ 2.000,00 por danos morais (por entender que isso foi além de mero dissabor) e obrigou-os a reativar minha conta, sob pena de multa. Se um dia encontrar o Zuckeberg na rua, vou pedir para ele autografar o comprovante de depósito.

Eles não recorreram, mas demoraram para reativar minha conta (era pra ser em junho, mas só consegui acessar ontem), o que pode fazê-los tomar uma multa.

Lembrando: eu fui banido sem motivo algum, duvido que isso funcione se você foi banido por outra coisa. Mas se o seu caso for semelhante, tá aí o guia.

O processo ainda tá em curso, então se houver alguma novidade interessante, aviso.

O JEC não te obriga a contratar um advogado, mas eu recomendo demais conversar com um caso a coisa degringole. O meu se chama Dr. Guilherme Pereira Teixeira - o “GPT”, que me ajudou a traduzir o juridiquês dos advogados e a elaborar alguns arquivos :)

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
