people reported already having followers before ever using the platform, meaning all people automatically had an account created for them. that (and many other things) is also very legally problematic in the EU which is why the service isnt available here.
“An account was already created for them” because it’s the same Meta account. You can just follow people when you start your account without them necessarily activating threads.
Is there a way to check if a user account exists for my instagram account without logging in?

It’s not hard to understand what was happening.
The issue with the EU is you can’t mingle and mix user data from two separate services.

Sole benefit of Brexit identified. We get to hand over our data to meta before you guys. It’s all been worth it.
I saw this in browser: You can go the person Instagram account and see if they have a thread logo next to it.
