I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it.

But why would we have to worry about defederating Threads when it’s a Twitter clone? It doesn’t have communities and such so I would think it’s not compatible. We’re not federated with Mastodon instances right? This seems like something for Mastodon to worry about. How is a Lemmy instance refusing to federate with Threads relevant?

    However, your thoughts are on the right track. You don’t really see that many Mastodon users on lemmy.

    You wouldn’t be able to using just Lemmy. Mastodon user posts don’t show up on their own, only if a Mastodon user replies to a Lemmy post.

    Kbin has an easier time of it (since you can see their microblog posts, and follow them), but it also suffers from some posts not loading because they’re not Federated properly yet.
