A good Fediverse prediction for 2026:

"The new “ #ActivityRank” algorithm in #Loops will prove that ethical recommendations & decentralization can coexist. @dansup’s approach—where each instance trains its own #algorithm while surfacing content across the #ActivityPub network—will be recognized as a breakthrough in solving the fediverse’s #discoverability problem. By the end of 2026, the pattern will be studied or adopted by other ActivityPub platforms."

"Threads, however, supports ActivityPub. Users on Threads can choose to share their posts with other Activity Pub servers, including Mastodon." – Well, only if the instance and/or end user decides so.

Surprised the article doesn't mention the absence of algorithm and advertising in the Fediverse. Imho it's a good selling point.
