their data will (maybe) be available, but as far as actual features threads is a whole different thing
think of it like kbin and lemmy: we can interact between them, but if lemmy adds a feature kbin doesn’t get it
so if threads adds a feature, mastodon and the rest of the fediverse doesn’t automatically get it
actually pinned posts i think is a good example for kbin and lemmy: they both have pinned posts, but they’re slightly different and therefor don’t operate correctly together
Couldn’t any features they add be copied by other instances?

Only if Threads is open source, but it doesn’t seem to be.
