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?

      My understanding is that Mastodon users can reach into Lemmy communities, but not vice versa. It’s unclear exactly how Threads would fit into the picture, because it’s still theoretical.
