A platform where the replies are the point.
Threads reports no reach and its view counts run far below Instagram's, so Viably keeps it on its own footing, and a mixed ranking would only ever have ranked the platforms anyway.
Unpopular opinion: most dashboards postpone a decision
Four numbers, and no pretending about the fifth.
Threads serves no reach metric, so Viably shows a dash where the platform says nothing, and never fills the gap with a zero that would read like a result.

A number Threads never reports comes back as a dash.
Every platform reports a different set, and the cheap way to build one table across all three is to call the gaps zero. That makes Threads look like it failed at something it was never asked to do, so Viably says nothing where the platform said nothing.
- Read-only, and nothing else
The permissions Viably asks for cover reporting. There is no publishing scope, so nothing can appear under your handle because of something here.
- Replies counted as engagement
Likes, replies and reposts add up to engagement with the same formula Viably uses for every other platform.
- Connected once
Threads permission lasts sixty days and Viably renews it before it lapses, so a connected account stays connected without anybody signing in again.

It finds what the account published, and whether answering people pays.
A discovery sweep walks the account backwards through everything already live, recording the text, the permalink and the date, and keeps going until it runs out. Posts written on a phone at the weekend arrive the same way as anything else, and replies are measured beside them, so the question of whether the conversation is worth the afternoon has an answer.

One workspace price, however many accounts you run.
Viably goes and asks Threads for these numbers on a schedule, so what it costs follows how often it asks. Connect the brand account and the founder's account and the whole team still reads one dashboard at no extra charge.

Can I compare Threads against Instagram?
Does Viably post to my Threads account?
Why is there a dash instead of a number?
Why do the numbers on a new post keep changing?
Does it only see posts made through Viably?
