(Reuters) - Meta Platforms' Threads is starting a test where posts from accounts on the microblogging platform will be available on Mastodon and other services that use the ActivityPub protocol, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Wednesday.

Meta had announced plans to make Threads compatible with open, interoperable social networks when the app was launched in July.
