Yes — Threads is owned by Meta and is linked to your Instagram account. You can follow people you already follow on Instagram, and your Instagram follower count carries over to help with initial reach on Threads.
What is the character limit for Threads posts?
Threads allows up to 500 characters per post. For best engagement, aim for 100–300 characters. Posts that feel natural and conversational outperform longer, announcement-style content on this platform.
