It looks like you can now view anyone’s Threads profile from Mastodon and Pixelfed instances that federate with them.

If you’re a Mastodon user wanting to block Threads, or a Mastodon server admin looking not only to block Threads from federating to your server but also block all inbound and outbound traffic (data scrapers, loads of traffic overwhelming small servers) from all their IP addresses, I wrote a guide that can help:

Screenshot of me searching mastodon.social for Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads profile, @zuck@threads.net, and it appears. It shows his profile picture of him smiling against a red bokeh blur background. It also shows he has 4 million followers, which just by federating Threads with the Fediverse would automatically make him the most followed person in the Fediverse.
