My logs are actually rammed with entries like the above. It's not a helpful UA, so what is it doing? Being a POST I'm pretty certain it's not crawling but I'm also not following all that many (if any in fact) Threads users?

in reply to pieceofthepie :coffefied: • • •Any relays? I'm pretty sure if someone boosts something while connected to a relay, everyone on the relay gets the post too. I'm not positive so this could be completely wrong, just an idea.
Basically I'm suggesting you have a relay that is relaying Threads posts. That's all I could think of.🤷♂️

in reply to BeAware :veriweed: • • •@BeAware Potentially, given the vagaries of ActivityPub, that could be the case.
That said, all the relays I have setup report their own useragents, for example:
ActivityRelay@intahnet.co.uk (golang net/http; Activity-Relay 2.0.5; relay.intahnet.co.uk)
toot.io relay service (golang net/http; Activity-Relay 2.0.5; relay.toot.io)
BeAware :veriweed: reshared this.

in reply to pieceofthepie :coffefied: • • •@jan I think, funnily enough, that this is Facebook following ActivityPub more closely than Mastodon - specifically the parts around Inbox Forwarding, which Mastodon doesn't do.
It's the reason people invent things like #FediFetcher
