How would Threads federate with Lemmy in the first place since they’re a microblogging thing and we’re not? - eviltoast

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?

    And the other way around too… without federation, you couldn’t follow a lemmy user on Mastodon and see their posts and comments as a timeline.
