This is by far the most comprehensive analysis of the Threads situation that I have seen. I recommend giving it a read.

    Because a lot of people here are also on the microblogging side of the Fediverse and a lot of people find Lemmy/kbin’s presentation of conversations a lot more appealing.

    Also a lot of people don’t realize that we won’t see Threads content at all because they don’t quite understand how federation works.

      We will only see threads content if they deliberately interact with us here.

        I know, I’m not saying it’s not. Additionally, it is not even sure if they will ever be able to, because Lemmy uses the article format for posts while microblogging platforms use note.

            Yes, comments are notes. But look at the main post from Mastodon: you only see the title and a link to the original post. That is just a placeholder. I am doubtful whether Threads will even have such a placeholder at all given their “careful” approach to federation.
