    Lemmy integrates with Threads.

    But isn’t Threads a micro-blogging format, similar to Mastodon and Twitter, compared to the community-focused Lemmy and Reddit?

    Can Threads display communities? Genuinely asking, I haven’t had a look at that in a while

      Define display. Subscribing to a Lemmy community on Threads should “work”, but won’t be a pleasant viewing experience for your feed most likely.

      They can, however, post directly to Lemmy communities should they wish, by @-ing the community.

      Intermingling requires Threads users to specifically and actively seek Lemmy out.

        If it’s the same way that Mastodon displays Lemmy communities, and Lemmy users not being able to post to Mastodon, then people are probably not going to leave Lemmy for Threads.

        Mastodon, on the other hand, is very much at risk.

          Leaving Lemmy for Threads was never really a concern I heard from anyone, they are completely different services. Like you say, Mastodon is more at risk.

          What people on Lemmy were concerned with was rather whether undesirable users on Threads could filter onto Lemmy and negatively affect the user experience here. With the magnitudes larger userbase, Threads users could potentially dominate the Hot feed if they started posting to Lemmy communities.
