    Doesn’t seem to work.

    $ curl https://threads.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:potus@threads.net

    {"subject":"acct:[email protected]","links":[{"href":"https://threads.net/ap/users/17841445266116124/","rel":"self","type":"application/activity+json"},{"href":"https://www.threads.net/@potus","rel":"http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page","type":"text/html"}]}

    $ curl https://threads.net/ap/users/17841445266116124/

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

      Weird, maybe you have to use an ActivityPub server to complete the lookup? I managed to get it to work with Mastodon and Akkoma, but haven’t tried anything else.

      Edit: alternatively, try doing a Webfinger lookup for @potus@threads.net directly?

        I was testing it with curl because my self-hosted Mastodon server doesn’t find it.

        Edit: alternatively, try doing a Webfinger lookup for @[email protected] directly?

        The leading @ is incorrect for a webfinger account lookup.

        $ curl https://threads.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:@potus@threads.net
